UNSPSC 85892542: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of right breast using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of right breast using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 DM11BCZ

UNSPSC 85892542 Low dose rate brachytherapy of right breast using californium 252 (Commodity) shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific oncology treatment modality, but the sole recent opportunity posted under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026—solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and therapy services. The staffing RFQ is unrelated to brachytherapy equipment, isotope procurement, or radiation oncology treatment delivery and reflects a mislabeling or data-entry error rather than genuine demand for the service the code describes.

No recent state and local solicitations for low dose rate brachytherapy services, californium 252 procurement, or related radiation oncology equipment and supplies appear in the available record. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual staffing opportunity suggests that activity under this code, if it exists, is either minimal, not surfaced in current state and local procurement databases, or classified under different taxonomy. Business development professionals should verify directly with health systems and cancer centers in their target jurisdictions whether brachytherapy procurement vehicles or radiation oncology staffing needs are expected, rather than relying on this code for pipeline identification.
