UNSPSC 85893369: Beam radiation of esophagus using neutrons

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of esophagus using neutrons. 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 DD005ZZ

UNSPSC 85893369 Beam radiation of esophagus using neutrons is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—involves recruitment and placement of ancillary clinical staff across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedics, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy disciplines. This staffing procurement bears no substantive relationship to the code's nominal scope of neutron beam radiation therapy for esophageal cancer treatment.

The Santa Clara County Health System is the only issuing body represented in recent posted opportunities under this code. The county health system is establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume; placement on the list does not commit the county to contract award. The geographic activity is limited to Santa Clara County, California. The mismatch between the code's clinical radiation therapy scope and the actual staffing services being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a substantial change in what is being bought under this code designation. Firms considering pursuit should verify the code assignment with the issuing body before investing in proposal development.
