UNSPSC 85892516: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 DW1299Z

UNSPSC 85892516 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized oncology radiation treatment procedure. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch: the only recent opportunity posted is the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/OR, and others), which bears no direct relation to brachytherapy procurement or treatment delivery. The Santa Clara solicitation explicitly excludes nursing and physician staffing and targets mid-level and support clinical roles on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work volume.

The code shows limited recent relevant activity for its stated scope. The single recent opportunity under this code is the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) posted July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026, establishing a five-year qualified vendor list for temporary health professional staffing. Geographic activity is concentrated in California based on available records. The apparent misclassification of the Santa Clara solicitation under this brachytherapy code suggests either a tagging error in the source system or that state and local procurement databases may not reflect actual high-dose-rate brachytherapy service or equipment acquisitions under this specific Commodity code. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing minimal actionable recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
