UNSPSC 85892244: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of hypopharynx 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 hypopharynx 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 D9139CZ

UNSPSC 85892244 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of hypopharynx using californium 252 (CF-252) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single state and local opportunity tagged under this code is a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and others), posted July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This staffing solicitation bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope of specialized cancer treatment services and appears to reflect a data-tagging error rather than an actual procurement for brachytherapy equipment or procedures.

No state and local governments have posted solicitations for HDR brachytherapy systems, procedures, or related clinical services under this code in the recent opportunities record provided. The mismatch between the code's technical specialty (focused radiotherapy for hypopharyngeal malignancies using californium-252 isotopes) and the health system staffing request suggests the code either sees minimal state and local purchasing activity or receives erratic classification at point of solicitation posting. Firms evaluating this code should treat recent activity as a non-signal and focus monitoring efforts elsewhere unless direct engagement with major hospital systems or cancer centers identifies procurement demand for brachytherapy clinical or capital services outside the typical UNSPSC channel.
