UNSPSC 85893938: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix 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 cervix 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 DU11B8Z

UNSPSC 85893938 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that describes a specific radiation oncology procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not reflect clinical brachytherapy services. Instead, the sole recent opportunity identified shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement need. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ (Solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052) solicits temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories — including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and respiratory care — but excludes nursing, physicians, and non-clinical roles. This staffing pool is established as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; selected vendors may be retained on the Qualified List for up to five years as operational needs arise.

The code shows limited recent procurement activity, and the single posted opportunity bears no clear relationship to brachytherapy services or radiation oncology clinical delivery. Santa Clara County Health System is the identified issuing body. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are tagging temporary staffing or ancillary clinical services under this brachytherapy-specific code due to taxonomy misalignment, or whether the code itself sees negligible state and local demand. The October 7, 2026 proposal deadline for Santa Clara's RFQ has passed as of the current date.
