UNSPSC 85901129, Assistive listening system/device selection assessment using audiometer (Commodity), encompasses audiology and hearing assessment services that state and local governments procure for students in special education settings, residents of supported living centers, and patients in health systems. Recent solicitations show school districts, state health agencies, and county health systems buying comprehensive audiology services including audiologic identification, assessment, diagnosis, treatment of hearing and vestibular impairments, hearing aid services, staff training, and sign language interpreting—services that overlap substantially with assistive listening device assessment and selection. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Birdville ISD, Katy ISD, Tacoma Public Schools), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, H-GAC). School districts dominate recent activity, with multiple districts seeking sign language interpreters and special education contracted services that include audiology components; state health agencies and county systems procure audiology services directly for specific populations.
