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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DM1197Z

UNSPSC 85892552 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of right breast using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cancer treatment modality. The recent activity tagged to this code does not align with that clinical scope; instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical roles including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the jurisdiction's procurement system or that the code is being applied far more broadly than its name indicates. The solicitation itself targets healthcare staffing vendors and individuals who can supply temporary clinical personnel to meet operational demand across disparate specialties, with qualifications and service scope negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

The County of Santa Clara Health System is the only recent issuing body visible under this code. The solicitation, posted July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026, is structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year pool retention window. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing from this solicitation, narrowing focus to ancillary clinical categories and support roles. Proposers may self-select into all or specific health professional categories without penalty. All submissions must be electronic. Given the limited recent activity and the apparent coding mismatch, activity under this Commodity code appears sparse; interested vendors should verify the actual scope with the County before committing significant proposal effort.
