UNSPSC 85893835: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of prostate using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of prostate 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 DV109BZ

UNSPSC 85893835 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of prostate using palladium 103 (pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services—does not match the specialized oncology procedure specified in the code's scope. The staffing solicitation covers temporary placement of non-physician clinical personnel across multiple disciplines, whereas the UNSPSC code describes a narrow, procedure-specific cancer treatment modality.

Without additional opportunities demonstrating actual state and local demand for HDR brachytherapy services, the code does not present a meaningful market signal for procurement targeting. Business development professionals should verify whether regional health systems and state Medicaid programs are soliciting HDR brachytherapy as a contracted service or capital equipment acquisition through alternative UNSPSC codes, cooperative purchasing arrangements, or unsolicited procurement channels before committing resources to this category.
