UNSPSC 85892756: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bronchus 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 bronchus 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 DB11BCZ

UNSPSC 85892756 Low dose rate brachytherapy of bronchus using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The County is soliciting staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and therapy services, which fall outside the narrow technical scope of brachytherapy procedures using californium-252 isotopes. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the County's tagging or that the code does not reflect active state and local demand for this specific medical treatment modality.

Without additional recent opportunities aligned to the code's actual scope, it is not possible to characterize issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or representative procurement activity in this category. The absence of relevant opportunities may indicate limited state and local procurement volume for this specialized oncology service, or that health systems typically procure such services through standing relationships with cancer centers rather than open competitive solicitations. Business development professionals should verify whether their target jurisdictions have recent or pipeline demand for brachytherapy services before allocating resources to pursue opportunities under this code.
