UNSPSC 85892556: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of left 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 left 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 DM10B9Z

UNSPSC 85892556 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of left breast using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a highly specific oncology brachytherapy procedure—and recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The single recent opportunity in the source is an RFQ from the County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Orthopedic, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room, and Therapy Services), due October 7, 2026. This staffing solicitation bears no substantive relationship to brachytherapy procurement and suggests either a tagging error by the issuing body or a misalignment between the code's intended use and how Santa Clara classified the opportunity in its posting.

The source provides no evidence of recent state and local opportunities actually soliciting LDR brachytherapy equipment, supplies, or services under this code. A single staffing-related posting does not establish meaningful procurement activity in this Commodity category. State and local health systems that do procure brachytherapy equipment or treatment planning services typically solicit under broader clinical equipment or oncology service codes, or may tag such work under different UNSPSC classifications entirely. Without additional opportunities demonstrating genuine demand for I-125 brachytherapy procurement, this code presents minimal signals for business development focus in the current state and local market.
