UNSPSC 85893270: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of stomach using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of stomach 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 DD1199Z

UNSPSC 85893270, High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of stomach using iodine 125 (I-125), is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized oncology treatment modality, yet the only recent opportunity tagged under it—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—involves general ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, with no mention of brachytherapy or radiation oncology. The Santa Clara solicitation explicitly excludes nursing and physician staffing, seeking to establish a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for up to five years with no guaranteed work volume; individual vendors and staffing firms may propose for all categories or focus on specific health professional specialties.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. Santa Clara County Health System's posting in July 2026 represents the sole recent opportunity identified, and it does not align with the code's stated clinical focus on specialized oncology treatment. Absent additional sourcing that reflects genuine HDR brachytherapy procurement at the state or local level, the code appears inactive for its intended scope. Business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor for future opportunities that match the brachytherapy treatment definition rather than the misaligned staffing solicitation.
