UNSPSC 85893240: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 DD13B9Z

UNSPSC 85893240 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code that in theory describes a specialized cancer treatment procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not align with brachytherapy or oncology work. Instead, the single recent opportunity shows the code being used to solicit temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical disciplines unrelated to brachytherapy. State and local buying under this code label appears minimal and misfiled relative to its nominal scope.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in ancillary health professional categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services — a generalist staffing vehicle that does not involve brachytherapy or radiation oncology. This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification RFQ with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System reserves the right to contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise and may maintain the Qualified List for five years. The procurement is geographically limited to the state and local healthcare context of Santa Clara County, California. Given the stark mismatch between the code's stated scope and the only recent activity supporting it, business development professionals should flag this code as showing little genuine market activity in its nominal commodity category and verify actual procurement needs through direct outreach to state and local health systems rather than rely on UNSPSC coding alone.
