UNSPSC 85892664: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of mediastinum using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of mediastinum 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 DB16B8Z

UNSPSC 85892664 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of mediastinum using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and therapy services — does not involve brachytherapy, radiation oncology, or mediastinal treatment of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a code-assignment error in the source data or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local purchasing in specialized radiation therapy.

Without recent opportunities that actually solicit brachytherapy services, imaging equipment, isotope procurement, or related oncology infrastructure under this code, no meaningful pattern of issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative solicitations can be identified. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local health systems are tagging brachytherapy procurements under a different UNSPSC category or whether demand for this specialized service line remains concentrated in federal or private-sector channels.
