UNSPSC 85901144 Monaural hearing aid assessment using electroacoustic immitance / acoustic reflex equipment is a Commodity code covering specialized audiology diagnostic and assessment services purchased by state health agencies, school districts, and regional health systems for students, residents, and patients requiring hearing evaluation and hearing aid fitting. The code encompasses comprehensive audiology services including hearing identification, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of auditory function impairments, hearing aid services, and related staff training — services state and local buyers procure on an as-needed or contract basis to supplement internal clinical capacity or serve specialized populations such as deaf and hard-of-hearing students in public schools and residents of state-supported living centers.

Recent activity shows audiology services being solicited by Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for Richmond State Supported Living Center, school districts across Texas (Katy ISD, Tacoma Public Schools, Birdville ISD, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California. The Texas HHSC issued bids for comprehensive audiology services with responses due August 31, 2026, requiring bidders to hold active Texas audiologist licenses and a minimum of five years of relevant experience, with firm fixed pricing covering all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies; the contract ran September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year extension. Katy ISD requested proposals for sign language interpreting services (a related access service) with responses due July 8, 2026, while Tacoma Public Schools and Birdville ISD solicited broader special education contracted services encompassing audiology and hearing support as one of multiple eligible service categories on RFP and competitive sealed proposal bases. Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with broader multi-state reach through regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council) and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative. The most active recent buyers are independent school districts and regional education cooperatives serving students requiring hearing services; state health agencies and health systems represent secondary but steady demand.
