UNSPSC 85892544: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of right breast using iodine 125 (i-125)

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 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 DM11B9Z

UNSPSC 85892544, Low dose rate brachytherapy of right breast using iodine-125, is a Commodity code describing a specific radiation therapy procedure for breast cancer treatment. However, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows a significant mismatch: the County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ (Solicitation Number RFSQHHSFY270052) solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, and therapy services — none of which align with the specialized oncology procedure named in the code. The solicitation is non-exclusive and establishes a qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work; placement on the Qualified List does not commit the Health System to contract award or minimum volume.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of specialized brachytherapy services. The single recent opportunity on file reflects a staffing-pool solicitation rather than procurement of the clinical procedure or equipment the code describes. Geographic activity cannot be reliably characterized from this source, as the one posted opportunity originates from Santa Clara County, California, and does not represent sustained or multi-jurisdictional procurement under the code's actual commodity definition. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether opportunities tagged to it reflect genuine brachytherapy procurement or administrative miscoding before committing business development resources.
