UNSPSC 85893359: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of esophagus 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 esophagus 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 DD10B9Z

UNSPSC 85893359 Low dose rate brachytherapy of esophagus using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing services RFQ (due October 7, 2026)—involves recruitment and placement of ancillary clinical personnel across categories such as audiology, radiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy services. This staffing-services work does not align with the code's nominal scope of brachytherapy treatment delivery, suggesting a tagging mismatch rather than active procurement of the specialized radiation oncology procedure the code describes.

The Santa Clara County Health System solicitation is structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; selected vendors establish positions on a qualified list that the Health System may maintain for five years and access as clinical needs arise. Proposers may bid for all or specific service categories without penalty for single-specialty focus. The code does not support evidence of broader state and local procurement activity in brachytherapy services, alternative specialty staffing codes, or esophageal cancer treatment procurement at this time.
