This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of abdomen 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 DW1397Z

UNSPSC 85893536 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of abdomen using cesium 137 (CS-137) is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—does not align with the code's nominal scope of radiotherapy treatment delivery. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services, but explicitly excludes procurement of specialized medical equipment or treatment modalities such as brachytherapy systems or cesium-based radiation delivery.

The mismatch between the code classification and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity tagging or that this code does not currently track active state and local procurement for HDR brachytherapy equipment or services. No other recent opportunities appear under this code. Firms pursuing this commodity should monitor whether state health systems, cancer centers, or hospital networks post capital equipment or treatment-service RFPs that would more directly align with brachytherapy procurement, as the current posting record does not support pursuit under this code.
