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 DF12B9Z

UNSPSC 85892928 Low dose rate brachytherapy of bile ducts using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specialized oncological medical procedure—and the recent state and local activity posted under it. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) under this code, seeking qualified vendors across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing, focusing instead on technical and support-level clinical roles. This represents either a coding error or a downstream categorization artifact; the work being solicited bears no relationship to brachytherapy or bile duct interventions.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for business development purposes. The single posted opportunity is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System may maintain the qualified vendor list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposals must be submitted electronically by October 7, 2026, with scope of services negotiated case-by-case post-award. Given the pronounced disconnect between the code's clinical procedure title and the temporary staffing scope actually being procured, this code does not appear to be a reliable indicator of active state or local demand for the specialized service it purports to describe.
