UNSPSC 85892653: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of chest wall using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 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 DB17B7Z

UNSPSC 85892653 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of chest wall using cesium 137 (CS-137) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026)—is plainly unrelated to brachytherapy services. The solicitation requests vendors to qualify for placement on a multiple-award staffing pool covering ancillary clinical categories such as audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services, with qualifications and scope negotiated case-by-case and no guaranteed work volume. This staffing requisition does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment delivery.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual opportunity posted under it signals either a coding error in the state or local procurement system or insufficient recent volume in this specific brachytherapy service line to generate dedicated solicitations. State and local health systems and oncology centers may pursue this work, but current visibility under this code is absent. Firms offering cesium-137 brachytherapy services should monitor broader oncology service codes or direct procurement channels rather than rely on this Commodity code as a primary sourcing vehicle.
