UNSPSC 85893523: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pelvic region using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pelvic region using iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 DW1698Z

UNSPSC 85893523 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pelvic region using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026—solicits temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical/operating room services. This opportunity is plainly unrelated to brachytherapy treatment planning, radiation oncology physics, or the specialized clinical services the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a miscoding error in the state or local procurement system or sparse genuine demand under this code that does not surface in typical opportunity databases.

Geographic activity is limited to California based on the Santa Clara County Health System solicitation alone. The Health System established a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing with no guaranteed volume and a five-year qualification window, but this activity does not reflect procurement of brachytherapy-specific goods or services. Without additional recent opportunities matching the code's actual scope, firms pursuing specialized radiation oncology or brachytherapy equipment and services should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy in state and local systems before investing in proposal development under this code.
