UNSPSC 85892220: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 D9159CZ

UNSPSC 85892220 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using californium 252 (cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052—solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services. This work bears no relation to specialized brachytherapy treatment with californium 252. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging or that this code is not actively used in state and local procurement for its intended therapeutic purpose.

The Santa Clara Health System RFQ, due October 7, 2026, establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year maintenance period. Proposers may self-select categories of specialization without penalty for single-specialty focus, and the Health System reserves the right to contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. No other state or local opportunities under this code appear in the recent record, indicating minimal to no current demand for the specific brachytherapy service named in the code's definition.
