UNSPSC 85892548: High dose rate (hdr) 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 high dose rate (hdr) 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 DM119CZ

UNSPSC 85892548 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of right breast using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted against it. The code nominally describes a specific radiotherapy procedure — high dose rate brachytherapy using a radioactive isotope for breast cancer treatment — yet the single recent opportunity in the block is a temporary health professional staffing requisition from the County of Santa Clara Health System. This mismatch suggests the code has either been misapplied to the Santa Clara opportunity or sees minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market at present.

The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052), due October 7, 2026, seeks to establish a multi-category qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties including diagnostic imaging, radiology, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy services — roles that are distinctly staffing-related rather than equipment, procedures, or radiotherapy services. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing. This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume and may remain active for five years. The scope mismatch — a staffing RFQ tagged against a commodity code describing a specific radiotherapy modality — indicates this code likely does not reflect active procurement of HDR brachytherapy services or equipment at the state and local level, or the opportunity has been miscoded. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for substantive brachytherapy-related opportunities pending clarification of the coding error.
