UNSPSC 85893949: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of ovary using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of ovary using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 DU10B9Z

UNSPSC 85893949 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of ovary using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity. The single recent state or local opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized oncology brachytherapy treatment. The solicitation represents general clinical workforce services, not low-dose-rate iodine-125 brachytherapy for ovarian cancer, indicating either a coding mismatch in the source system or minimal procurement activity under this code's intended specialty.

The County of Santa Clara Health System issued the opportunity as an RFQ with a response date of October 7, 2026. The Health System established this as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume; the system may maintain the list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. The solicitation excluded nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. Without additional recent opportunities directly matching the code's brachytherapy scope, procurement intent under this code remains unclear. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local health systems are actively seeking this specialized oncology service line through other procurement channels or whether this code represents an unused or incorrectly classified taxonomy node in state and local procurement systems.
