UNSPSC 85893934: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix using other isotope. 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 DU11BYZ

UNSPSC 85893934 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of cervix using other isotope is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026) — does not align with the code's scope. The solicitation covers ancillary clinical staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedics, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy — none of which relate to brachytherapy isotope procurement or radiotherapy delivery.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the source database or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local demand. Firms pursuing radiation oncology or cancer treatment equipment and services should monitor this code with caution and verify current state procurement activity through direct agency contact rather than relying on historical UNSPSC assignments.
