UNSPSC 85901122 Sensory aids assessment using audiometer (Commodity) addresses hearing and auditory evaluation services in educational settings, though the code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local solicitations actually posted under it. The recent opportunities block contains no audiometer assessment or sensory-aids procurement; instead, it reflects sign language interpreting, specialized education support services, health plan data analytics, and health maintenance contracting—none of which align with audiometric or hearing-assessment equipment or services. The code appears to capture hearing-related support services broadly, but the recent activity does not center on formal audiometric assessment tools or procedures. School districts and specialized education providers dominate the issuing-body mix, with Katy Independent School District, Tacoma Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Eanes Independent School District all posting contracts for interpreting and special education services under related codes.

The recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, Florida, and Washington, with secondary activity in California through regional health plans. Katy ISD issued RFP 2518YT (posted July 8, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for sign language interpreting services across the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative, requiring RID or BEI certification and offering both certified and pre-certified interpreters, CART services, and specialized support for deaf and deafblind students on a multi-year contract running through August 2031. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted RFP 26041-DST (April 6, 2026, due April 15, 2026) for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students with a $950,000 estimated annual budget and a requirement for EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent RID certification. Eanes ISD in Westlake, Texas issued RFP 26-31-04-201 (March 15, 2026, due April 20, 2026) for special education contracted services including audiology and hearing support, with an estimated $3 million annual spend and multi-year renewal options. The code shows little relevant recent audiometric or equipment-assessment procurement activity; practitioners should verify whether this code accurately tags sensory-aids assessment work or whether the tagging reflects a jurisdictional categorization drift.
