UNSPSC 85893636: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of urethra using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of urethra using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 DT139CZ

UNSPSC 85893636 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of urethra using californium 252 (CF-252) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052, an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026 — concerns the recruitment and qualification of ancillary clinical staff across thirteen disciplines (Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room/Labor and Delivery, and Therapy Services). This staffing-pool solicitation bears no relationship to specialized cancer treatment modalities and suggests a tagging or classification error at the jurisdiction level rather than genuine procurement activity under the brachytherapy commodity code.

The code shows minimal recent activity relevant to its stated scope. No opportunities for HDR brachytherapy equipment, supplies, or services appear in the recent-opportunities record. The single opportunity, originating from a California county health system, is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle establishing a five-year vendor list with no guaranteed work volume. Absent additional solicitations or a correction to the source data, this code does not demonstrate active state and local procurement interest in the specialized medical equipment or treatment services it nominally describes.
