UNSPSC 42182403 Audiometric booths or acoustic hearing test chambers is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity; the three most recent state and local solicitations tagged to the code — an occupational medical surveillance RFP from Washington State Ferries, a special education supplies cooperative procurement from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, and an audio-visual systems RFP from the City of St. Marys, Georgia — do not involve audiometric booths or acoustic hearing test chambers. The Washington State Ferries solicitation centers on baseline and periodic occupational medical examinations for four personnel categories (Shipyard Workers, Engine Crew, Deck Crew, and Asbestos Team members) across 14 ferry system locations, with no mention of hearing test equipment or facilities. The Region 7 procurement is a multi-vendor special education supplies catalog discount bid serving cooperatives across Texas. The St. Marys procurement addresses audio-visual recording and amplification for a municipal council chamber and court room. None of these scopes align with the purchase of sound-isolated examination booths or acoustic chambers used for audiometric testing.

No recent state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 42182403 appears to target audiometric booths or acoustic hearing test chambers as defined by the code. Buyers pursuing this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are using it correctly or whether hearing-test-equipment opportunities are being posted under alternative UNSPSC classifications within occupational health, medical testing, or facility equipment categories.
