UNSPSC 85893667: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of kidney using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of kidney using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DT10BBZ

UNSPSC 85893667 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of kidney using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity tagged under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026, with responses due October 7, 2026—does not align with the code's medical oncology/radiation therapy scope. The Santa Clara solicitation seeks ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical, and therapy services, with no mention of brachytherapy, radiation oncology, or kidney cancer treatment.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the only recent opportunity on file suggests either miscategorization in the source or minimal current state and local demand for this specific palladium-103 brachytherapy service. State and local health systems and cancer centers may procure such specialized radiation therapy services through capital equipment purchases, physician services contracts, or clinical partnerships rather than standalone staffing or procedure codes. No additional solicitations or issuing bodies appear in the recent opportunities block. Business development professionals should verify whether procurement activity under this code occurs outside state and local channels or whether the code itself sees limited uptake in the state and local market.
