UNSPSC 85892224: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of tongue using cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 D91597Z

UNSPSC 85892224 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of tongue using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The nominal scope—a highly specialized radiation oncology procedure—does not match the recent opportunity record, which documents temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, with response due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in audiology, cardiology and vascular, diagnostic imaging and radiology, gastroenterology, health services assistant, medical social worker, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transporter, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room and labor and delivery, and therapy services. This solicitation bears no operational relevance to brachytherapy procurement and suggests the code assignment may reflect a data-entry error rather than a true category match. State and local governments do not appear to solicit HDR brachytherapy services as discrete line items; the code warrants close analysis before pursuit, as tagged opportunities may not represent genuine demand in this clinical specialty.
