UNSPSC 85893242: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum 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 DD13B7Z

UNSPSC 85893242 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of jejunum using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy—does not reflect brachytherapy procurement or oncology-focused radiation therapy work. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source system or that this Commodity code sees minimal activity in state and local contracting, with opportunities potentially miscoded or absent from recent market activity.

Without representative solicitations that match the code's stated scope of low-dose-rate brachytherapy services using cesium-137, no geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, or procurement trends can be reliably identified. State and local health systems and cancer centers may procure such specialized radiation oncology services under different codes or through multi-agency health cooperative purchasing vehicles, but the current record does not support a market characterization for this code. A targeted search of oncology and radiation therapy service codes, or direct outreach to state health departments and major health system procurement offices, would be necessary to locate relevant activity.
