UNSPSC 85892657: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest wall using iodine 125 (i-125)

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 iodine 125 (i-125). 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 DB1799Z

UNSPSC 85892657 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest wall using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—addresses ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical services, therapy, and related roles. This staffing pool vehicle bears no material relationship to specialized cancer treatment via brachytherapy. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement for its stated therapeutic purpose.

The Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a multiple-award qualified vendor list for temporary health professional placements with no guaranteed volume and a five-year retention window; proposers may bid single or multiple specialty categories without penalty. The RFQ structure allows for case-by-case scope negotiation and independent category evaluation. Beyond this single opportunity, the source provides no additional state or local solicitations under the code, no geographic clustering, and no evidence of repeat issuing bodies or sustained procurement activity aligned with brachytherapy services. State and local health systems and county health departments that do pursue advanced radiation oncology services would be the relevant customer base, but the current posting history does not support that conclusion for this code.
