UNSPSC 85893848: Beam radiation of prostate using neutrons

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of prostate using neutrons. 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 DV005ZZ

UNSPSC 85893848 Beam radiation of prostate using neutrons (Commodity) shows a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical specification addresses a specialized cancer treatment modality involving neutron-beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer — a capital-intensive clinical procedure typically performed in academic medical centers or specialized radiation oncology facilities. However, the single recent opportunity posted under this code by Boswell, Mississippi (RFQP 3382-26-R-RFQP-00005-V01, due April 24, 2026) solicits an Occupational Therapist position, a professional services role that bears no relationship to proton or neutron beam therapy delivery.

The mismatch between code and work suggests either a cataloging error in Boswell's procurement system or a broader absence of prostate neutron-beam radiotherapy purchasing activity in the state and local government sector. The single opportunity available does not represent actual demand under this code. State and local governments rarely procure specialized radiation oncology equipment or treatment protocols directly; such services are typically delivered through existing hospital contracts, academic medical center relationships, or patient referrals to specialized centers. No additional opportunities, geographic concentration, or issuing-body pattern can be identified from current data. This code shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.
