UNSPSC 85893218: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of colon 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 colon 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 DD15B7Z

UNSPSC 85893218 Low dose rate brachytherapy of colon using cesium 137, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The single recent opportunity on record—Santa Clara County Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy)—bears no relationship to brachytherapy or radiation oncology procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the opportunity posting or limited genuine demand for the specialized medical procedure the code describes.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. No state or local procurement opportunities for low dose rate brachytherapy services, cesium-137 equipment, or related radiation oncology support have posted under this Commodity code in the recent period. Until activity surfaces that reflects the code's actual scope, business development under this code carries substantial execution risk.
