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 DB065ZZ

UNSPSC 85892718 Beam radiation of mediastinum using neutrons is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope — a specialized oncology treatment modality — and recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the source does not involve radiation therapy or mediastinal treatment; instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a request for qualifications (RFQ) for temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, surgical support, and therapy services. This solicitation establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume, valid for up to five years, and explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code does not reflect active state and local demand for specialized radiation oncology services at this time.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. The sole opportunity comes from Santa Clara County (California), posted July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the source material for this code, and no other opportunities tied to beam radiation therapy, mediastinal treatment, or radiation oncology services are present. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is actively used by state and local healthcare systems and oncology centers before investing pursuit resources; the current signal does not support a pursue decision without additional market intelligence from procurement offices in states with major academic medical centers or cancer treatment networks.
