UNSPSC 85894018: Beam radiation of whole body using photons 1 - 10 mev

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of whole body using photons 1 - 10 mev. 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 DW051ZZ

UNSPSC 85894018 Beam radiation of whole body using photons 1–10 MeV is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific medical radiation therapy modality, but the recent state and local procurement activity indexed to this code does not align with that scope. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) tagged to this code requests temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging, radiology, audiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, and therapy services. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement database or a historical artifact in how Santa Clara Health System assigns UNSPSC codes to staffing solicitations. The actual work being bought is temporary clinical labor across multiple specialties, not radiation therapy equipment or treatment delivery.

The County of Santa Clara Health System is the sole recent issuing body visible in the available record. The solicitation is a qualification-based RFQ establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System may maintain the qualified list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposals are due October 7, 2026, and must be submitted electronically. Proposers may self-select to qualify for all or specific health professional categories without penalty for single-specialty focus. The code shows limited recent activity, and what activity is present does not reflect the code's nominal radiation oncology scope.
