UNSPSC 85893226: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of ileum using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of ileum using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 DD14BCZ

UNSPSC 85893226 Low dose rate brachytherapy of ileum using californium 252 (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized medical radiation therapy procedure, yet the single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services—bears no relationship to brachytherapy or radiotherapy. The Health System is instead soliciting vendors to staff ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical or labor-and-delivery support across a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work.

The mismatch between code scope and actual procurement signals that this Commodity code captures little relevant state and local activity. The Santa Clara County Health System opportunity (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is the sole recent record in the source, and it concerns temporary staffing placement rather than brachytherapy delivery or equipment. If brachytherapy services are being procured by state and local health systems—hospital systems, cancer centers, or medical universities—they are not appearing in available recent solicitation data tagged to this code. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is genuinely applied by state and local procurement offices to radiotherapy service contracts, or whether opportunities in cancer treatment are indexed under different taxonomy codes.
