UNSPSC 85893674: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of kidney 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 kidney 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 DT1099Z

UNSPSC 85893674 High dose rate brachytherapy of kidney using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The single posted opportunity under this code is the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), but this solicitation targets ancillary clinical staffing roles such as audiology, radiology, respiratory care, surgical/operating room, and therapy services — work that does not align with the code's specific focus on iodine-125 brachytherapy procedures for renal treatment. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state or local procurement system or limited genuine procurement activity under this highly specialized clinical intervention code.

State and local health systems and county health departments do not appear to be actively soliciting iodine-125 brachytherapy services as a standalone procurement line item in the current market. The Santa Clara Health System opportunity, the only recent posting tagged to this code, is actually a staffing qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year qualified-list shelf life. Geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be reliably characterized from a single mismatched opportunity. Firms targeting specialized oncology or interventional radiology services should verify direct procurement activity through health system capital equipment and clinical-services channels rather than rely on this code's current UNSPSC tagging.
