UNSPSC 85901006 Cochlear implant rehabilitation treatment using audiometer is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities predominantly reflect procurement for sign language interpreting services, audiology services, and broader special education contracted services across school districts, state health agencies, and purchasing cooperatives. The work actually being solicited includes sign language interpreting (ASL, oral interpreting, transliteration, tactile interpreting) for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in educational settings; comprehensive audiology services including identification, assessment, diagnosis, treatment of auditory and vestibular impairments, and hearing aid services; and temporary staffing for ancillary health professionals including audiologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech language pathologists, and educational diagnosticians. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Katy ISD, Birdville ISD, Tacoma Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), and multi-jurisdictional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, H-GAC). School districts appear as the dominant repeat buyers, with multiple concurrent solicitations for special education and interpreting services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Washington state. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for sign language interpreting services with a proposal deadline of April 15, 2026 and estimated annual budget of $950,000; Birdville Independent School District's ITB 01027 for special education contracted services (23 line items including audiology, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and behavioral analysis) with proposals due October 21, 2026 and cost-price analysis of $398,494.30; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFQ HHS0017735V2 for audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center with bids due August 31, 2026; and Katy Independent School District's RFP #2518YT for sign language interpreting services serving a six-district West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative with proposals due July 8, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a multi-vendor catalog discount bid (SPE2628) for special education supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned to cochlear implant rehabilitation using audiometry; the tagging appears disconnected from actual procurement scope.
