UNSPSC 85901109 Bithermal, monaural caloric irrigation assessment is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement databases and tagged with or related to this code all solicit sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services, health maintenance services, and data abstraction solutions — work that falls entirely outside the scope of clinical audiology assessment equipment or procedures that the code nominally describes. No state or local issuing body has recently solicited the bithermal caloric irrigation assessment services or equipment this code is intended to cover.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specialty focus and the diverse human services and technology work actually appearing in the recent opportunities suggests that state and local procurement systems have applied the code incorrectly to these solicitations, or that the code itself is not actively used by the jurisdictions buying under these categories. School districts including Katy ISD, Eanes ISD, and Tacoma Public Schools; county school systems including Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; and specialized public health entities including the Inland Empire Health Plan have all posted RFPs and RFQs for interpreting, special education support, and related services in the past four months across Texas, Washington, California, and Florida, but none are procuring the otologic diagnostic services or equipment this code represents. Pursuit of this code should be deferred pending clarification of actual state and local demand for caloric irrigation assessment contracting.
