This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of hypopharynx 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 D913B8Z

UNSPSC 85892241 Low dose rate brachytherapy of hypopharynx using iridium 192 (IR-192) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specialized radiation oncology procedure—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The County of Santa Clara Health System's most recent solicitation tagged to this code solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, with no mention of brachytherapy or radiation oncology work. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by the issuing body or used as a catchall for health services procurement that does not fit the code's technical definition.

The County of Santa Clara Health System is the only issuing body with a posted opportunity under this code in the recent-opportunities block. The solicitation establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing with no guaranteed work volume, open to qualified vendors and individuals across the listed health professional categories; proposals were due October 7, 2026, and the Health System may maintain the Qualified List for five years. Geographic activity is limited to California based on the available record. Code activity appears sparse and subject to tagging inconsistency; firms evaluating this code should confirm alignment with their service lines before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
