This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of chest using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DW12BBZ

UNSPSC 85892509 Low dose rate brachytherapy of chest using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect its nominal scope. The single identified opportunity—Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services—involves recruitment and placement of ancillary clinical staff across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/OR, therapy, and related support roles. This staffing work bears no relationship to brachytherapy procedures or oncology-specific clinical services. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy classification error in the source data or that this Commodity code sees limited relevant activity in state and local procurement.

The Santa Clara County Health System issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026, for a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified-vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. The Health System may maintain the pool for up to five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposers may self-select categories or apply across all thirteen listed ancillary specialties; placement on the Qualified List carries no guaranteed contract award. Given the sole opportunity in the dataset does not align with the code's clinical scope, this Commodity code shows no clear recent activity in state and local procurement for brachytherapy services or related oncology procedures.
