UNSPSC 85901128 Assistive listening system/device selection assessment using sound field / booth is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader special education contracted services packages, particularly sign language interpreting, audiology assessment, and hearing support services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. The code appears in school district solicitations that bundle interpreting, assistive technology, and audiology services alongside speech-language pathology and occupational therapy under umbrella special education contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting under or alongside this code are predominantly independent school districts (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD, Tacoma Public Schools, and Hillsborough County Public Schools) seeking on an as-needed basis qualified contractors to deliver interpreting and hearing support across multiple school sites and facilities. These districts typically structure awards as indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with initial terms of one to three years and renewable options, with no guaranteed minimum volume.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Katy Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP #2518YT for Sign Language Interpreting Services with proposals due July 8, 2026, seeking certified and pre-certified interpreters serving the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative across six school districts, with hourly pricing by service category (certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, CART services, specialty interpreters). Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posted RFP 26041-DST on April 6, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools, requiring interpreters to maintain EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent RID or BEI certification and respond within 30 minutes. Tacoma Public Schools (Washington) and Eanes Independent School District (Texas) also issued special education contracted services RFPs (due July 3 and April 20, 2026, respectively) that explicitly include interpreting, audiology, and assistive technology among broader service bundles. These districts estimate annual contract spending between $950,000 and $3,000,000 and typically weight evaluation on specifications, qualifications, cost, and business references or performance history.
