UNSPSC 85893831: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of prostate using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of prostate 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 DV10B8Z

UNSPSC 85893831 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of prostate using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local contract opportunities supporting its nominal scope. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical/operating room, and therapy services)—is unrelated to prostate brachytherapy. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunity posting or administrative misclassification. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the specialized oncology service defined by the UNSPSC category name.

The Santa Clara County Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified-vendor pool with no guaranteed work and a five-year duration. Proposers may self-select and submit qualifications for all or specific health professional categories without penalty for single-specialty focus. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. Without additional opportunities clearly aligned to prostate brachytherapy procurement under this code, no reliable geographic pattern or issuing-body concentration can be identified from the available record.
