UNSPSC 85893358: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of esophagus using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of esophagus 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 DD10BBZ

UNSPSC 85893358 Low dose rate brachytherapy of esophagus using palladium 103 (Pd-103), a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — concerns clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and allied health categories, with no connection to brachytherapy, esophageal treatment, or radiation oncology services. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement bodies for its intended clinical purpose at this time.

No additional recent solicitations under this code were identified. State and local health systems and oncology programs may acquire brachytherapy services, equipment, or staffing through other classification schemes or directly negotiated arrangements outside formal competitive solicitation. Firms targeting oncology or radiation therapy revenue from state and local buyers should monitor codes in the medical equipment, clinical services, and professional staffing families more broadly, and confirm code alignment with issuing bodies during pre-bid outreach before committing bid resources.
