UNSPSC 85892234: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of mouth using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of mouth 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 D91499Z

UNSPSC 85892234 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of mouth using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—is unrelated to brachytherapy or radiation oncology services and does not reflect actual buying under the code's scope. The County is soliciting vendors to fill temporary positions across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services, explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing; this staffing qualification vehicle bears no connection to specialized cancer treatment modalities.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the single tagged opportunity suggests either a data classification error or dormant procurement activity under this Commodity code in the state and local market. State and local procurement databases do not consistently surface high-specificity oncology service codes, particularly for specialized modalities like HDR brachytherapy with iodine isotopes. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive in the recent state and local opportunity stream and monitor alternative procurement channels—such as state health department notices, regional cancer center RFPs, or cooperative purchasing arrangements—if targeting HDR brachytherapy service contracts with public health systems.
