UNSPSC 85901122 Sensory aids assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code that state and local governments use when procuring audiology services and related hearing assessment work for students with hearing impairments and residents of state facilities. The recent solicitations under this code show that public buyers actually seek comprehensive audiology services—identification, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of hearing and vestibular impairments; hearing aid services and fitting; staff training; and sign language interpreting—across special education settings, state residential facilities, and health systems. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Birdville ISD in Texas, Katy ISD in Texas, and Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), county health systems (Santa Clara County in California), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts and municipalities. School districts dominate recent activity, driven by federal and state mandates to provide free appropriate public education to deaf and hard-of-hearing students and the documented shortage of qualified interpreters and audiologists in the education sector.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and California, with Texas showing the most recent volume across multiple school districts and the state HHSC. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing RFP 26041-DST in September 2026 for sign language interpreting services across 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and a response deadline of April 15, 2026; Texas HHSC issuing bids HHS0017735 and HHS0017735V2 for audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center with responses due August 31, 2026; Birdville ISD issuing a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services including audiology with a due date of October 21, 2026 and an estimated cost of $398,494.30; Katy ISD issuing RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services with proposals due July 8, 2026; and Tacoma Public Schools issuing RFP26021C for special education contracted services including audiology and interpreting with proposals due July 3, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid for special education supplies with responses due October 1, 2026 and an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541. Minimum qualifications typically include active state licensure as an audiologist or interpreter with five or more years of relevant experience, and school districts require Board of Educational Interpreters or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf certification.
