UNSPSC 85893939: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of cervix using cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DU11B7Z

UNSPSC 85893939 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of cervix using cesium 137 (CS-137) is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows no concrete alignment with its nominal clinical scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052—is for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room support, and therapy services. This staffing-focused work bears no relationship to brachytherapy procedures or cesium-137 radiation oncology. The mismatch suggests either a source-data tagging error or that this commodity code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the specialized oncology service it nominally describes.

The County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ, posted July 7, 2026 with a due date of October 7, 2026, represents the only recent state and local opportunity associated with this code. That solicitation establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume; vendors may self-select specific health professional categories without penalty, and qualifications and scope will be negotiated case-by-case. The activity reflects a single California health system's temporary staffing need, not a broader pattern of procurement under the brachytherapy code itself. State and local procurement activity specific to LDR brachytherapy services using cesium-137 does not appear in the recent opportunity record.
