UNSPSC 85892957: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of liver using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of liver using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DF109BZ

UNSPSC 85892957 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of liver using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code showing a material mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity identified under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services — involves clinical ancillary staffing in categories such as audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical/operating room support. This staffing solicitation does not align with brachytherapy procurement, radiotherapy equipment, or oncology treatment delivery; the code appears to have been misapplied to a temporary clinical labor staffing vehicle.

Santa Clara County Health System posted the temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The Health System is establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume; selected vendors may be maintained on the Qualified List for up to five years as operational needs arise. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing, and proposers may self-select specialties without penalty for single-category focus. Based on the available record, this code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope; the single posted opportunity appears to represent a tagging error rather than authentic brachytherapy or radiotherapy procurement.
