UNSPSC 85892543: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of right breast using palladium 103 (pd-103)

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 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 DM11BBZ

UNSPSC 85892543 Low dose rate brachytherapy of right breast using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy)—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment delivery. The opportunity solicits temporary staffing placement services, not brachytherapy equipment, consumables, or clinical delivery, indicating either a tagging error or minimal genuine procurement activity under this highly specialized Commodity code.

State and local health systems do not appear to be actively sourcing low-dose-rate brachytherapy services or equipment through open competitive solicitation at this time based on available recent postings. If your firm delivers brachytherapy systems, planning software, radioactive sources, applicators, or related clinical support services to public health systems, this code does not currently reflect active procurement demand in the state and local market. Monitor future postings under this code, but do not expect substantial near-term activity without evidence of additional solicitations from cancer centers, regional medical systems, or state health departments.
