UNSPSC 85893675: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of kidney using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of kidney using iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 DT1098Z

UNSPSC 85893675 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of kidney using iridium 192 (ir-192), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a specialized oncological medical procedure — internal radiation therapy for kidney tumors using a radioactive isotope — yet the single recent opportunity tagged under it concerns temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, a category explicitly excluding clinical procedures and focused instead on personnel placement services. State and local health systems and county agencies do solicit under this code, but the recent activity does not support a characterization of what is actually being bought for brachytherapy services or radiological treatment delivery.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging, surgical services, and therapy services — a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work and a five-year validity window. This solicitation does not procure brachytherapy equipment, radiation oncology procedures, iridium isotopes, or related clinical delivery services; instead, it addresses temporary staffing deployment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunity suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly to this staffing requisition or that this particular UNSPSC category sees limited procurement activity in state and local markets under its actual definition.
