UNSPSC 85892953: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of liver using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of liver using iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 DF10B8Z

UNSPSC 85892953 Low dose rate brachytherapy of liver using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity on file — County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026 — solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and surgical services, but does not align with the code's narrow scope of specialized oncologic brachytherapy using iridium-192 isotopes for liver tumors. The staffing solicitation is fundamentally misaligned with the technical and procedural specificity of the code's nominal work.

The mismatch between the code's clinical and technical focus and the staffing-services opportunity suggests that either the code was incorrectly applied during the County's solicitation tagging or that state and local health systems are not currently sourcing low-dose-rate liver brachytherapy services through formal procurement channels indexed to this code. No geographic clustering or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from available records. Firms with capabilities in specialized oncologic brachytherapy, radiation physics, or radioactive materials handling should monitor state health departments, cancer centers, and hospital systems directly rather than rely on this code as a reliable discovery channel.
