UNSPSC 85893524: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pelvic region using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DW1697Z

UNSPSC 85893524 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pelvic region using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026) — involves ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical/operating room, and therapy categories, with no connection to radiation oncology or brachytherapy services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (specialized cancer treatment delivery) and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error or minimal state and local procurement activity under this code.

No representative brachytherapy or radiation oncology opportunities appear in recent state and local contract postings. Vendors pursuing specialized medical radiation treatment delivery through state and local procurement channels should verify whether their target jurisdictions tag such services under a different UNSPSC classification or whether demand occurs primarily through direct negotiation, standing cooperative purchasing agreements, or health system capital equipment procurements rather than staffing-focused solicitations.
