UNSPSC 85894012: Beam radiation of whole body using neutron capture

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of whole body using neutron capture. 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 DW056ZZ

UNSPSC 85894012 Beam radiation of whole body using neutron capture is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's title refers to specialized nuclear medical physics procedures, yet the single recent opportunity in the dataset is a temporary health professional staffing requisition from the County of Santa Clara Health System that covers ancillary clinical roles such as audiology, radiology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical support — none of which involve neutron capture or whole-body beam radiation therapy. The opportunity itself is legitimate and substantial, but it does not align with the code's technical classification. This suggests either a data-entry error in how the Santa Clara solicitation was tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work being purchased.

No recent state and local contract opportunities directly matching the code's nominal scope appear in the available dataset. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) posted July 7, 2026 with an October 7, 2026 response deadline is the only solicitation currently indexed under this code, yet its focus on temporary staffing across diverse clinical support functions bears no relationship to beam radiation therapy or neutron capture procedures. Without additional solicitations tagged to this code that actually address its intended scope, prospects pursuing work in specialized radiation oncology or nuclear medicine services through this UNSPSC classification should verify current tagging practices with issuing jurisdictions before committing resources to capture opportunities in this category.
