UNSPSC 85893534: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of abdomen using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of abdomen using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 DW1399Z

UNSPSC 85893534 High dose rate brachytherapy of abdomen using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for Temporary Health Professional Staffing Services (due October 7, 2026)—does not reflect the specialized radiation oncology procedure the code describes. The Santa Clara opportunity solicits temporary clinical staffing across ancillary categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, but does not specifically address brachytherapy delivery or radiation-focused oncology roles. This mismatch suggests either sparse actual procurement under the code or classification inconsistency in how opportunities are tagged by state and local issuing bodies.

State and local governments show little visible demand for i-125 brachytherapy services as a distinct procurement line item at this time. The available record provides no evidence of other recent RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs from state health departments, county health systems, municipalities, or special-purpose healthcare districts specifically targeting high-dose-rate brachytherapy staffing or service delivery. Without additional opportunities to characterize issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative bid cycles, the code does not present a clear pursuit signal in current state and local markets.
