UNSPSC 85892515: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) 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 DW129BZ

UNSPSC 85892515 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of chest using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized radiation oncology procedure. However, the most recent state and local activity posted under this code shows no direct alignment with the code's stated scope. The one recent opportunity on file — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services — covers ancillary clinical positions across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room support, and therapy services, but makes no reference to brachytherapy, oncology, or the specialized procedures the code nominally describes. This suggests either a tagging misalignment in the County's procurement system or the code's limited relevance to active state and local procurement.

Santa Clara County Health System issued the temporary staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, with responses due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing. Placement on the Qualified List does not guarantee contract award, and the County reserves the right to maintain the list for five years. The code shows no other identifiable recent state and local procurement activity.
