UNSPSC 85893515: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pelvic region 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 pelvic region 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 DW16BBZ

UNSPSC 85893515 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of pelvic region using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific oncology radiation therapy procedure. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the therapeutic scope; the only recent opportunity on file is a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories, including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This mismatch suggests the code carries little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals evaluating actual brachytherapy service contracting.

The temporary staffing vehicle itself is structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification pool with no guaranteed work, maintained for up to five years and activated on a case-by-case basis as the Health System's operational needs arise. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent-opportunities block under this code, and no geographic concentration outside Santa Clara County is evident. The code shows insufficient recent activity aligned to its nominal scope to support a reliable assessment of current state and local demand for low-dose-rate brachytherapy services.
