UNSPSC 85893957: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of ovary using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of ovary 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 DU1097Z

UNSPSC 85893957 High dose rate brachytherapy of ovary using cesium 137, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific radiation oncology procedure (HDR brachytherapy using Cs-137 for ovarian treatment), but the single recent opportunity in the source—Santa Clara County Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories—does not involve brachytherapy, cesium-based radiation therapy, or oncology services of any kind. The Health System's July 2026 RFQ seeks vendors qualified to staff audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy positions on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed minimum volume.

The source provides no evidence of recent state and local solicitation activity specifically for high-dose-rate brachytherapy equipment, procedures, or related services. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the single posted opportunity suggests either miscoding or that this particular Commodity code does not reflect active procurement demand in the state and local market at this time. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as dormant unless additional opportunities emerge that align with the brachytherapy procedure the code describes.
