UNSPSC 85892216: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of tongue using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of tongue using iodine 125 (i-125). This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code D915B9Z

UNSPSC 85892216 Low dose rate brachytherapy of tongue using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized oncology procedure — low-dose-rate internal radiation therapy targeting lingual tumors — but the single recent opportunity tagged to this code does not reflect that scope. The County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026, solicits temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support, explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing. This staffing-pool vehicle bears no relationship to specialized brachytherapy procedures and appears to be a tagging misalignment rather than a signal of active procurement under the code's actual commodity definition.

No recent state and local contract opportunities directly supporting low-dose-rate brachytherapy services or related oncology procedures appear in the source. The single record present reflects administrative healthcare staffing, not clinical cancer treatment services. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local health systems and hospital networks are pursuing this specialized procedure through alternative procurement channels, cooperative purchasing arrangements, or equipment and supply codes rather than through this Commodity classification.
