UNSPSC 85893666: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of kidney using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of kidney 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 DT10BCZ

UNSPSC 85893666, Low dose rate brachytherapy of kidney using californium 252 (Cf-252), 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 RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services)—bears no relation to brachytherapy, radioisotope procurement, or kidney cancer treatment. The opportunity solicits staffing vendor pools, not medical isotopes or specialized cancer therapies. This classification mismatch suggests either a data entry error in the state or local procurement system or a miscategorization by the issuing body.

No state and local governments have posted solicitations aligned with the code's actual scope—procurement of californium-252 brachytherapy systems or services for kidney cancer treatment. Health systems may acquire such highly specialized equipment and isotope services through federal or cooperative purchasing channels, direct manufacturer relationships, or specialized healthcare procurement vehicles outside standard UNSPSC classification. This code warrants monitoring, but current activity signals no near-term state and local contracting opportunity.
