UNSPSC 85893236: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of ileum using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of ileum 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 DD1497Z

UNSPSC 85893236 High dose rate brachytherapy of ileum using cesium 137, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026) — bears no relationship to brachytherapy or radiation oncology services. The solicitation addresses ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy categories, with no mention of radiation therapy, oncology, or cesium-based treatment modalities.

The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the county's tagging system or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns. No additional opportunities in the recent record support activity under the brachytherapy code itself. Organizations pursuing radiation oncology services or brachytherapy-related contracts should monitor higher-level Family or Class codes in the clinical and hospital services hierarchy rather than rely on this Commodity-level designation for sourcing guidance.
