UNSPSC 85893820: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of testis using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of testis using cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DV11B7Z

UNSPSC 85893820, Low dose rate brachytherapy of testis using cesium 137, is a Commodity code showing negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—is unrelated to the code's nominal scope and reflects a clear classification mismatch. The Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical/operating room, and therapy services, none of which align with brachytherapy oncology procedures or cesium-137 equipment.

The mismatch between the code's technical specificity—a narrow cancer-treatment modality—and the staffing services being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the county's tagging system or a significant decline in state and local procurement under this particular code. State and local health systems rarely procure specialized brachytherapy procedures through competitive vendor-pool solicitations; such services are typically provided in-house by hospital oncology departments or contracted through regional cancer centers. No additional state and local opportunities under this code are evident in the recent activity block, indicating minimal current market activity at the state and local level for this specialized medical service.
