UNSPSC 85893006: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pancreas using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pancreas 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 DF13B7Z

UNSPSC 85893006 Low dose rate brachytherapy of pancreas using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The health professional staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical/operating room services, but does not describe brachytherapy procurement, equipment, or treatment delivery.

State and local government activity under codes for specialized cancer treatment modalities like low-dose-rate brachytherapy is typically confined to large academic medical centers and comprehensive cancer programs operated by state health systems or county hospital authorities. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the staffing-focused recent opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the source database or minimal procurement volume under this Commodity code in the 2026 timeframe. Firms pursuing oncology-related services should validate code assignment before investing in qualification or proposal effort under this code.
