This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of colon 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 DD1598Z

UNSPSC 85893223 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of colon using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code — a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — is a general clinical staffing vehicle unrelated to the specialized oncology brachytherapy procedure the code nominates. The Health System is building a qualified vendor pool across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including radiology, surgical services, and respiratory care, but the solicitation does not reference brachytherapy, radiation oncology, or any specialized equipment or procedure alignment with the code's scope.

State and local procurement data does not support meaningful activity under this Commodity code at this time. The mismatch between the code's technical specificity and the staffing services actually being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the source system or an unusual circumstance where a state or local body used an oncology-specific code to tag general clinical labor. Firms pursuing contracts in state and local brachytherapy services, radiation oncology equipment, or specialized cancer-center staffing should monitor this code further but should not rely on recent posting activity under this designation as a signal of current market demand.
