UNSPSC 85893269: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of stomach using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of stomach using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DD119BZ

UNSPSC 85893269 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of stomach using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Orthopedic, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room, and Therapy Services)—is plainly unrelated to specialized oncology brachytherapy procedures and does not reflect buying activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual opportunity tagged suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal state and local demand for HDR brachytherapy services under this UNSPSC designation. State and local health systems may procure such services through direct clinical partnerships, capital equipment and specialized procedure contracts, or higher-tier family codes rather than this narrow Commodity code. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local purchasing offices in their target regions have ever issued solicitations under this code or have classified similar oncology services under different UNSPSC codes before allocating resources to pursue opportunities in this category.
