UNSPSC 85892681: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura 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 DB1599Z

UNSPSC 85892681 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pleura using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (response date October 7, 2026)—does not match the brachytherapy code's scope. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical positions including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy, but does not include oncology, radiation therapy, or brachytherapy procedures.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope signals either a data-entry error in the state or local system or a tagging anomaly in the source material. State and local procurement offices do not regularly solicit specialized radiation-oncology services like pleural brachytherapy through open market RFQs; when they do procure such services, they typically contract with hospital systems, cancer centers, or specialized radiation-oncology vendors under different code families. No additional opportunities are present in the source to characterize geographic activity, repeat buyers, or typical work scope under this code. Monitor for corrected or properly-tagged solicitations going forward.
