UNSPSC 85892550: High dose rate (hdr) 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 high dose rate (hdr) 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 DM1199Z

UNSPSC 85892550 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of right breast using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific oncology treatment modality — high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy using iodine 125 implants for breast cancer — yet the recent sourced opportunity shows no procurement of this specialized medical procedure or related equipment, supplies, or clinical services. Instead, the single recent record under this code is a temporary health professional staffing vehicle from Santa Clara County, focused on establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical roles such as audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support — service categories unrelated to brachytherapy planning, implantation, or dosimetry.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or that this code receives minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The Santa Clara County Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is the only recent opportunity shown, and it does not align with the code's clinical scope. No additional information on geographic spread, repeat buyers, or representative solicitations for HDR brachytherapy services, treatment planning software, radiation physics consulting, or related oncology infrastructure is present in the source. Business development professionals should verify code applicability before pursuing activity under this Commodity code.
