UNSPSC 85901140 Monaural hearing aid assessment using computer is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect hearing aid assessment work. Instead, the opportunities span sign language interpreting, audiology services, and broader special education contracted services, representing a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured. Sign language interpreting dominates the recent activity, with school districts in Texas and Florida seeking certified interpreters to serve deaf and hard-of-hearing students across their campuses on an as-needed basis. Secondary activity includes comprehensive audiology services (assessment, diagnosis, hearing aid fitting, and vestibular treatment) solicited by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and broader special education staffing pools established by school districts and county health systems covering multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology but not hearing aid assessment specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Birdville ISD in northeast Tarrant County, Katy ISD in Texas, and Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), state health agencies (Texas HHSC), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System in California), and educational purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas).

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with secondary representation from Washington and California. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for sign language interpreting services across 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; Birdville ISD's competitive sealed proposal (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services including audiologists and other specialists at $398,494.30 based on 2025–2026 expenditures; Texas HHSC's bid solicitation HHS0017735V2 for comprehensive audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center with bids due August 31, 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid SPE2628 for special education supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541. The code's actual use in procurement does not align with its stated name, signaling that buyers or systems are misclassifying interpreting and broader audiology services under this commodity code. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85901140.
