UNSPSC 85455001: The diagnosis of physical 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 Z58.0.

UNSPSC 85455001, diagnosis of physical exposure to noise, is a Commodity code that captures audiological assessment and diagnostic services related to hearing and noise exposure in state and local health and educational settings. Recent state and local solicitations show the code encompassing audiologist contracting for school districts and health systems, where these professionals conduct hearing evaluations, noise-exposure diagnostics, and related assessments as part of broader special education, occupational health, or clinical diagnostic portfolios. The issuing bodies include county health systems, public hospital networks, and independent school districts, which solicit audiological services either as part of multi-specialty contracted-services vehicles or as standalone qualified-vendor pools. These organizations treat audiological diagnosis as a supplemental clinical or educational service rather than a core staffing function.

Recent activity spans California and Texas. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories including Audiology, with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year Qualified List term. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas issued a competitive sealed-proposal RFQ on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services covering audiologist line items, with evaluation weighted 55 percent on price, 20 percent on reputation and experience, and contract term running December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. San Mateo Medical Center in California posted a separate diagnostic imaging PACS solicitation (October 7, 2026; due October 21, 2026) that touches related diagnostic imaging modalities but does not name audiology specifically. The code shows sporadic recent state and local activity concentrated in California and Texas, with health systems and school districts as primary buyers.
