UNSPSC 85893923: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of uterus using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of uterus using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 DU12BCZ

UNSPSC 85893923 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of uterus using californium 252 (CF-252) is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title specifies a specialized radiation oncology service — low-dose-rate brachytherapy using CF-252 for uterine treatment — a highly specialized clinical procedure performed in cancer centers. However, the single recent opportunity tagged to this code does not reflect that scope. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (Solicitation Number RFSQHHSFY270052) in July 2026 seeking a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across 13 ancillary clinical categories — Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room/Labor and Delivery, and Therapy Services. This staffing-pool solicitation is unrelated to the specialized brachytherapy procedure the code nominally describes.

The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity aligned with its stated purpose. The Santa Clara Health System opportunity, due October 7, 2026, represents a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work; the Health System may maintain the Qualified List for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposers may self-select specific health professional categories, and placement on the list carries no guarantee of contract award or work volume. The misclassification of this staffing-pool notice under a specialized brachytherapy code suggests either a data-quality error in the indexing system or that the recent opportunity archive contains no genuine brachytherapy solicitations from state and local bodies during the lookback period. Firms pursuing specialized radiation oncology services should verify activity under related oncology codes or contact health systems and cancer centers directly rather than relying on this code's recent-opportunity signal.
