UNSPSC 85893224, High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of colon using cesium 137 (Cs-137), is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — County of Santa Clara Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories — bears no relationship to HDR brachytherapy or radiation oncology treatment delivery. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect active state or local buying patterns.

No representative opportunities in HDR brachytherapy services, sourcing or maintenance of Cs-137 equipment, or related radiation therapy procurement are evident from the available records. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive in the state and local market pending clarification of whether the code is in routine use or whether relevant activity is categorized elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.
