UNSPSC 85892511: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of chest 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 chest 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 DW12B8Z

UNSPSC 85892511 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of chest using iridium 192 (IR-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026—is unrelated to brachytherapy equipment, supplies, or clinical delivery. The Santa Clara solicitation seeks vendors to staff ancillary health professions including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services through a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. This staffing procurement does not align with the code's medical device and radiotherapy treatment scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the tagged opportunity suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a labeling inconsistency that has not surfaced other relevant solicitations. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the current signal as sparse and verify directly with Santa Clara County Health System and other regional health systems whether brachytherapy supply, equipment, or clinical services are solicited under alternate UNSPSC codes or through standing cooperative purchasing agreements not yet reflected in recent RFP or RFQ postings.
