UNSPSC 85892682: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pleura 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 DB1598Z

UNSPSC 85892682 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pleura using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—is unrelated to the code's stated scope of cancer radiotherapy treatment. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical support, but does not encompass brachytherapy services or radiation oncology procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or an exceptionally thin pipeline of HDR brachytherapy demand at the state and local level. No other recent opportunities in the source block support procurement activity under this Commodity code. Business development professionals should monitor for future radiation oncology or cancer treatment service solicitations but should not assume current activity in this code tier based on available market signals.
