UNSPSC 85901123 Assistive listening system/device selection assessment (Commodity) covers professional services for evaluating, selecting, and implementing assistive listening and communication devices and systems for individuals with hearing impairment or deafness, as demonstrated by state and local solicitations emphasizing specialized assessment, device selection guidance, and related clinical or educational support in real-world settings. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (particularly those serving deaf and hard-of-hearing populations), state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, county health systems, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member organizations. School districts dominate recent activity, with interpreting services, audiology, and speech-language pathology featuring prominently alongside assistive technology assessment. Issuing bodies typically seek qualified contractors holding relevant professional licensure or certification (BEI, RID, or Texas audiologist license for hearing-related services; LSSP, occupational therapy, or speech-language pathology credentials for supplemental special education services) and often require minimum years of relevant experience—typically five years for audiology roles.
