UNSPSC 85892673: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pleura using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pleura 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 DB15BCZ

UNSPSC 85892673 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pleura using californium 252 (cf-252) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories—bears no connection to the code's stated scope of specialized radiation therapy. The opportunity is a multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary clinical staff placement (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Orthopedic, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room, and Therapy Services) with proposals due October 7, 2026, and does not involve brachytherapy, radioactive isotopes, or pleural treatment.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code descriptor and the actual opportunity suggests either a coding error in the issuing body's internal system or a data artifact. State and local governments rarely solicit highly specialized radiation oncology equipment or isotope-based treatment services through open competitive procurement; such work typically flows through established healthcare system contracts, equipment leasing agreements, or specialized medical suppliers operating under existing state or system-level frameworks. Until a properly coded solicitation for brachytherapy services appears in state and local notice systems, this code should be treated as inactive for market-opportunity purposes.
