UNSPSC 85442822: The diagnosis of exposure to noise

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of exposure to noise. Exposure to noise is listed In The World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) as a four-character category under code W42.

UNSPSC 85442822 The diagnosis of exposure to noise, a Commodity code, shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which directly concern noise-exposure diagnosis. San Mateo Medical Center solicited proposals for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Birdville Independent School District requested competitive sealed proposals for 23 lines of special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, and therapists across its 30 campuses; and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, including audiology. The issuing bodies represent county health systems and school districts pursuing clinical and support staffing or system implementations rather than noise-exposure diagnostic services.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the mismatch between code assignment and actual work scope limits the utility of this code as a procurement signal for vendors focused on occupational health, industrial hygiene, or hearing-loss diagnosis programs. The three opportunities carry response dates ranging from October 7 to October 21, 2026, and include a five-year PACS maintenance term, a four-year renewable special education staffing agreement, and a five-year qualified vendor pool. The code shows recent activity but no substantial recent opportunities aligned with noise-exposure diagnosis itself.
