UNSPSC 42182406 Auditory test graphic recorders is a Commodity code that in practice covers occupational health monitoring and audio-visual recording and testing equipment used by state and local government agencies to support employee surveillance, medical compliance, and public-meeting documentation. The recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing occupational medical examination services with audiometric and health-status recording capabilities, as well as audio-visual recording systems for municipal government facilities with hearing-assist and accessibility features. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, regional purchasing cooperatives, and municipal governments; the Washington State Department of Transportation and city governments appear as repeat solicitors for occupational health and civic meeting recording infrastructure.

Recent activity spans Washington State and the Southeast, with the most visible opportunities in Washington and Georgia. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825) is requesting occupational medical surveillance services with baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; the contract is for two years with options to extend for up to five additional one-year terms. The City of St. Marys, Georgia (PE66960NONST2027000000057) solicited audio-visual services including recording, live captioning, and hearing-assist capability for a new City Council Chamber and Municipal Court room via RFP with proposals due July 17, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (SPE2628), based in Kilgore, Texas, issued a cooperative procurement for special education and supplies with an estimated two-year value of $2,713,541 and proposals due October 1, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in occupational health documentation and municipal audio-visual compliance infrastructure rather than standalone auditory testing equipment.
