UNSPSC 85892658: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of chest wall using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 DB1798Z

UNSPSC 85892658 High dose rate brachytherapy of chest wall using iridium 192 shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026—solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services), which falls outside the code's stated scope of specialized brachytherapy treatment delivery. The mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the actual staffing procurement suggests either a coding error in the source data or that the code captures activity unrelated to its nominal description.

The Santa Clara County Health System opportunity represents a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; selected vendors are placed on a five-year qualified list and contracted on a case-by-case basis as operational needs arise. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing from the pool, evaluates proposals independently by category, and negotiates qualifications and scope on an individual basis with each selected vendor. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent-opportunities block under this code. Given the sparse and misaligned activity, this code warrants close attention during market research to confirm whether it accurately describes brachytherapy procurement or whether state and local health systems are tagging staffing or equipment solicitations with an incorrect commodity code.
