UNSPSC 85892655: High dose rate (hdr) 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 high dose rate (hdr) 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 DB179CZ

UNSPSC 85892655 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of chest wall using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a temporary health professional staffing services solicitation from the County of Santa Clara Health System—covers clinical ancillary staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and related disciplines, with no connection to brachytherapy, radiation oncology, or medical physics services. The mismatch between the code's technical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data tagging error or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local buying patterns. Without additional opportunities in the source data, no reliable characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or market traction under this code is possible.

The Santa Clara County Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor list for temporary clinical staffing with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year pool duration. This solicitation explicitly excludes nursing and physician staffing, limiting eligible categories to ancillary health professionals. Because the sourced opportunity does not represent brachytherapy procurement or align with the code's specialty, practitioners targeting state and local radiation oncology or medical physics work should treat this code as inactive and monitor alternative UNSPSC classifications that cover diagnostic and therapeutic radiation services.
