UNSPSC 85892272: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of ear 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 ear 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 D91097Z

UNSPSC 85892272 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of ear using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity tagged under this code — a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services — does not align with the code's narrow clinical scope of HDR brachytherapy treatment. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging or a misalignment between the UNSPSC code's specificity and how issuing bodies apply it in practice.

Without additional recent solicitations under this code from state and local bodies, no pattern of issuing jurisdictions, geographic concentration, or representative procurement activity can be established. Firms evaluating this code should verify how their state and local procurement targets actually classify brachytherapy services and related radiation oncology staffing — the code may see activity under different UNSPSC classifications, or procurement may flow through health system contracts tagged more broadly under clinical staffing or oncology service families rather than this specific commodity code.
