UNSPSC 85892680: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DB159BZ

UNSPSC 85892680 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pleura using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The single state or local contract opportunity tagged under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026—is for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support, with a response date of October 7, 2026. This staffing procurement bears no connection to HDR brachytherapy, a specialized radiation oncology procedure, and represents a mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being bought.

The absence of relevant recent opportunities under this code signals that state and local governments are not actively soliciting HDR brachytherapy services through public procurement channels captured in current databases, or if they are, those solicitations are not being tagged with this Commodity code. Firms pursuing work in radiation oncology and brachytherapy services should monitor broader oncology and hospital equipment or clinical services codes rather than relying on this narrow, radiation-therapy-specific classification.
