UNSPSC 85892637: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of diaphragm using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of diaphragm 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 DB18BCZ

UNSPSC 85892637 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of diaphragm using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a highly specialized oncological treatment modality involving radioisotope implants, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026 with a response date of October 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services. This is a multiple-award, non-exclusive qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System may maintain the qualified list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. The scope is explicitly limited to ancillary clinical professionals and excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. This opportunity reflects a mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual work being bought — staffing services do not fall within brachytherapy or radioisotope treatment scope. The absence of other recent opportunities under this code and the clear categorical divergence suggest that either the code has been assigned in error or state and local procurement activity under this highly specialized medical procedure remains too sparse or localized to generate visible posted opportunities in the source data.
