UNSPSC 85892758: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bronchus using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bronchus 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 DB11B9Z

UNSPSC 85892758 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of bronchus using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a highly specialized medical procedure — targeted radiation therapy for lung cancer. However, the most recent state and local contract opportunity posted under this code shows no alignment with the code's medical scope. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, soliciting temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical support — a multi-disciplinary staffing arrangement with no connection to brachytherapy procurement or any cancer treatment modality. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error at the source or a classification anomaly in how the opportunity was tagged.

The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement markets. No additional recent opportunities were identified under this Commodity code, and the single posted solicitation (Santa Clara County, due October 7, 2026) does not procure brachytherapy equipment, source materials, or related medical devices. Business development professionals evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether state and local health systems and cancer treatment centers are actively sourcing LDR brachytherapy systems or consumables through formal procurement channels, as the current posting record does not reflect such activity.
