UNSPSC 85892513: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using other isotope. 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 DW129YZ

UNSPSC 85892513 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of chest using other isotope is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent 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, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, therapy services, and related roles. This solicitation does not solicit brachytherapy equipment, isotope supplies, or radiation oncology services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (specialized cancer treatment delivery) and the actual buying activity (temporary clinical staffing placement) suggests either a tagging error or that the code does not currently reflect meaningful state and local procurement in its intended domain.

The County of Santa Clara Health System issued the only recent opportunity identified under this code (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle establishing a qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work; the Health System may maintain the list for five years and contract with selected vendors as needs arise. Proposers may self-select categories without penalty for specialty focus, and the Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. No geographic concentration emerges from a single California opportunity, and no pattern of repeat buying or cross-jurisdictional activity appears in the record. Unless recent opportunities under this code are being retagged or procurement activity in brachytherapy and radiation oncology has shifted to federal or private channels, state and local buying under UNSPSC 85892513 appears dormant.
