UNSPSC 85892770: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of trachea 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 trachea 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 DB10B9Z

UNSPSC 85892770 Low dose rate brachytherapy of trachea using iodine 125 (I-125), a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope—a highly specialized medical radiation therapy procedure—and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. The single recent opportunity posted does not involve brachytherapy or radiation oncology services; instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System is soliciting temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical services, and therapy services. This suggests the code may have been assigned incorrectly to the opportunity, or the code sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement that aligns with its intended scope.

The Santa Clara County Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052), due October 7, 2026, establishes a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing with no guaranteed work and a potential five-year maintenance period. Proposers may self-select and submit qualifications for all or specific health professional categories; the Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing. The code shows no evidence of recent state or local procurement activity for brachytherapy services, radiation oncology staffing, or related medical physics support in the opportunities block, making this category a low-priority target for firms pursuing radiation-therapy-specific contracts under this UNSPSC designation.
