UNSPSC 85892223: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 D91598Z

UNSPSC 85892223 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The single recent state and local opportunity tagged under this code—the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services—does not align with the code's stated scope. That solicitation seeks temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services, among others. The work being bought reflects general temporary staffing pools, not the specialized oncological brachytherapy procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or that the code is not actively used for state and local health procurement in the jurisdictions currently reporting opportunities.

The Santa Clara Health System opportunity, posted July 7, 2026 with a response date of October 7, 2026, is structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work. The Health System may maintain the qualified vendor list for five years and will negotiate individual scope and qualifications case-by-case with selected vendors. Proposers may submit for all or specific clinical categories without penalty. This is the only recent state and local posting found under the code, and it does not represent procurement for the specialized therapeutic procedure the UNSPSC category names.
