UNSPSC 85901135: Binaural hearing aid assessment using electroacoustic immitance / acoustic reflex equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of binaural hearing aid assessment using electroacoustic immitance / acoustic reflex equipment. This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code F14Z34Z

UNSPSC 85901135 Binaural hearing aid assessment using electroacoustic immitance / acoustic reflex equipment, a Commodity code, appears frequently in state and local procurement records but shows substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly cover sign language interpreting services, audiology services more broadly, special education contracting spanning multiple disciplines, and health professional staffing — none of which align with the specific diagnostic equipment or assessment protocols the code name describes. School districts, independent school districts, state health agencies, county health systems, and purchasing cooperatives are issuing these solicitations, but the actual work involves staffing and service delivery rather than equipment procurement or electroacoustic assessment methodologies. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy designation for hearing-related services and special education support contracting in state and local systems, rather than a precise classifier for binaural hearing aid assessment equipment or techniques.

Recent opportunities reflect substantial activity across Texas, Florida, and California. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted RFP 26041-RFPDST on September 21, 2026 for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time; the district requires EIPA level 3.5 or RID/BEI certification and 24/7 availability. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas issued RFP 01027 on September 18, 2026 for special education contracted services including audiologists, speech language therapists, and related specialists across 30 campuses, with proposals due October 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time and a cost estimate of $398,494.30. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited audiology services for Richmond State Supported Living Center (HHS0017735V2, posted August 17, 2026, due August 31, 2026), requiring five years of experience and Texas audiologist licensure, with a one-year term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. County of Santa Clara Health System in California posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing including audiology services, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and no guaranteed minimum work. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its stated purpose as a diagnostic equipment classifier.
