UNSPSC 85892649: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of chest wall 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 chest wall 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 DB17BCZ

UNSPSC 85892649 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of chest wall using californium 252 (cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—bears no connection to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and therapy services, none of which align with low dose rate brachytherapy or radioactive treatment delivery.

This code appears inactive in the state and local procurement market. The mismatch between the code's technical specificity and the actual opportunity posted suggests either a coding error in the source data or dormant procurement activity under this taxonomy. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor for future activity, as brachytherapy services—if procured by state and local health systems—would likely be tagged under different UNSPSC codes or listed as part of broader oncology or diagnostic imaging service categories.
