UNSPSC 85893211: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of rectum using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of rectum 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 DD1798Z

UNSPSC 85893211 High dose rate brachytherapy of rectum using iridium 192, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name references a specific oncology procedure — high dose rate brachytherapy using iridium 192 — but the single recent opportunity in the dataset does not procure this service. Instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification-based RFQ on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing.

The single recent opportunity reflects California activity and represents a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed minimum volume; placement on the Qualified List extends for five years at the Health System's discretion. Because the recent opportunity does not align with the code's stated scope (high dose rate brachytherapy), this code shows little relevant recent state and local contracting activity in the dataset. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source or that state and local procurement under this specific brachytherapy code is not currently visible in the available recent-opportunities record.
