UNSPSC 85892663: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of mediastinum using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of mediastinum 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 DB16B9Z

UNSPSC 85892663 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of mediastinum using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized oncology treatment modality, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that clinical scope. The sole recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052—solicits temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, therapy services, and related roles. This mismatch between the code's nominal description and the work actually being bought suggests either a tagging error by the issuing body or that the code has been repurposed in Santa Clara County's procurement taxonomy to cover a broader family of healthcare staffing transactions rather than the specific brachytherapy procedure the code name implies.

Santa Clara County Health System is the identified issuing body for the most recent activity under this code. The Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification RFQ on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026, to establish a five-year qualified vendor list for temporary staffing placements in the ancillary health professions. Vendors may self-select categories without penalty for single-specialty focus, and placement on the Qualified List carries no guaranteed contract award or work volume. The absence of additional recent opportunities under this code suggests limited current market demand for procurements tagged to this specific Commodity identifier, making activity concentration difficult to characterize beyond Santa Clara County's current solicitation.
