UNSPSC 85901145 Monaural hearing aid assessment using tympanometer is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities filed under this code show a significant mismatch: nearly all posted solicitations are for sign language interpreting services, audiology support, and broader special education contracted services—not tympanometer assessments or hearing aid evaluations. School districts and public health entities are using this code to procure interpreting and hearing-support services on an as-needed basis, typically under multi-year contracts with renewal options. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Katy ISD in Texas, Eanes ISD in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida) and a local California health plan (Inland Empire Health Plan), all seeking qualified vendors to deliver sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, audiology support, and related special education services across educational and clinical settings. Districts are weighing evaluation criteria heavily toward vendor qualifications, certifications, and performance history, with pricing weighted at 20–30 percent of the total score.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (three school district solicitations in the most recent block), Florida, and Washington, with one California health plan procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Katy ISD's RFP #2518YT for sign language interpreting services (due July 8, 2026), which seeks certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, and CART services across a six-district cooperative with an initial contract term running September 2026 through August 2031 and annual renewal options; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services (due April 15, 2026) with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and a response requirement of service fulfillment within two hours; and Eanes ISD's RFP 26-31-04-201 for special education contracted services (due April 20, 2026) with an estimated annual contract spend of approximately $3,000,000 and evaluation weight of 25 percent on staffing capacity and coverage. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope—the posted opportunities are fundamentally procurement for interpreting and special education support labor, not diagnostic hearing-assessment equipment or procedures.
