UNSPSC 42182400: Hearing testing products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in hearing capability based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42182400 Hearing testing products is a Class code that encompasses audiometric testing services and equipment calibration delivered by certified technicians using sound-treated mobile vans and microprocessor audiometers to meet OSHA compliance requirements at client sites. Recent state and local solicitations show two distinct buying patterns: routine mobile audiometric testing services performed at fixed frequencies (typically at law enforcement, occupational health, or educational facilities), and one-time or specialized calibration services for existing audiology equipment. Issuing bodies include county sheriff departments, specialized educational institutions serving deaf and hard-of-hearing populations, and municipal facilities. The County of Orange, California has emerged as a repeat buyer, soliciting mobile audiometric testing services multiple times for its Sheriff-Coroner Department locations across Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, and Orange. Work is structured as fixed-fee service contracts with firm pricing for full-day (up to 10-hour), half-day (4-hour), and hourly rates, bundled with data analysis services. Vendors must hold valid state contractor licenses, maintain commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance at specified limits, and comply with federal grant regulations including the Clean Air Act and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements.

Recent opportunities span California, Florida, and Georgia. The County of Orange issued an IFB for mobile audiometric testing services with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, under IFB0603013202JG, offering a firm fixed-fee contract with three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals, with a five percent preference available for certified Orange County local small businesses or disabled veteran business enterprises. The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind posted a single-source notice (SS15662) in April 2026 for annual Grason-Stadler audiology equipment calibration services estimated not-to-exceed $2,125.00, with e3 Diagnostics, Inc., of Duluth, Georgia, designated as the intended sole source provider. Geographic activity clusters in California (Orange County repeat solicitations), Florida (school districts and specialized institutions), and Georgia (equipment service providers). The code shows modest but consistent activity driven by occupational health and safety mandates in law enforcement and educational settings where hearing conservation programs require regular audiometric testing and equipment maintenance.
