UNSPSC 85901132, Binaural hearing aid assessment using assistive listening equipment, is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses a broader range of audiology and hearing-related services than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments are procuring comprehensive audiology services including hearing assessment, diagnosis, hearing aid fitting and management, and vestibular function evaluation, along with sign language interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing populations in educational and health-care settings. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Birdville ISD and Katy ISD in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System in California), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, H-GAC in Texas).
