UNSPSC 85892638: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of diaphragm using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of diaphragm using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DB18BBZ

UNSPSC 85892638 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of diaphragm using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity in the source—County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, and others)—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized cancer radiation therapy treatment. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state or local opportunity record or that this Commodity code does not represent active state or local buying in the current market.

Without recent opportunities that match the brachytherapy code's definition, no meaningful conclusions can be drawn about issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, representative solicitations, or market timing under this code. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is correctly mapped in state and local procurement systems or whether the relevant therapy services are being classified under a different UNSPSC code.
