UNSPSC 85892253: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of nose using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of nose 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 D911B8Z

UNSPSC 85892253 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of nose using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its stated scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title refers to a highly specialized oncology radiation therapy procedure, yet the single recent opportunity in the block shows no activity aligned with that clinical service. Instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, seeking to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories — audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistant, medical social worker, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transporter, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services — explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing. This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work, maintained for up to five years and executed on a case-by-case basis as operational needs arise.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The single opportunity tracked under UNSPSC 85892253 concerns general temporary health professional staffing — a function wholly disconnected from brachytherapy delivery, radiation oncology, or radioisotope procurement. Santa Clara County Health System is the only issuing body represented in the recent-opportunities block. The response deadline for the staffing qualification RFQ was October 7, 2026. If your firm specializes in radiation oncology supplies, radiotherapy equipment, or brachytherapy-specific services, this code is currently inactive in state and local procurement and should not guide resource allocation.
