UNSPSC 85892960: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of liver using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of liver using cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DF1097Z

UNSPSC 85892960 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of liver using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized radiotherapy service — internal radiation therapy targeting hepatic malignancies — yet the single recent opportunity on record is an RFQ from the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) soliciting temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and therapy services, with no mention of brachytherapy, oncology, or hepatic treatment. The Santa Clara solicitation explicitly excludes nursing and physician staffing and establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work; selected vendors may be retained for five years as operational needs arise.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope. Santa Clara County remains the only issuing body with a posted opportunity tagged to this code in the recent window, and that opportunity addresses general ancillary staffing rather than specialized cancer treatment. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the source data for this code. Until state and local procurement offices begin soliciting brachytherapy services, related physics support, or treatment-planning staff under this code, activity remains dormant for business development purposes.
