UNSPSC 85893513: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pelvic region using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pelvic region using other isotope. 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 DW16BYZ

UNSPSC 85893513 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of pelvic region using other isotope is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026—requests temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services, with responses due October 7, 2026. This staffing-services procurement bears no relationship to brachytherapy treatment or radiotherapy delivery. The mismatch between the code's radiotherapy focus and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding or a misapplication of UNSPSC taxonomy by the issuing body.

State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting brachytherapy services, isotope sourcing, or related clinical oncology procedures under this code based on current procurement records. Firms considering pursuit in this category should verify directly with target health systems, cancer centers, and state health departments whether brachytherapy procurement is structured through other UNSPSC codes, handled through standing agreements with equipment vendors, or sourced through specialty clinical service contracts outside standard commodity procurement.
