UNSPSC 85901147 Monaural hearing aid assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent contract opportunities tagged to this code center on sign language interpreting services, audiology services, and broader special education contracting—none of which involve monaural hearing aid assessment or audiometry. School districts, in particular, have posted multiple RFPs for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, as well as broader special education contracted services that include audiology and hearing support on an as-needed basis, but these solicitations do not target hearing aid assessment specifically. The code does not reflect the work state and local governments are currently buying under this tag.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD), Washington (Tacoma Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and California (Inland Empire Health Plan). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with interpreting and special education services appearing in multiple RFPs across states. Katy Independent School District issued RFP #2518YT for sign language interpreting services with a due date of July 8, 2026, seeking certified ASL interpreters, CART services, and specialty interpreters on an hourly basis across multiple school districts in a cooperative. Eanes Independent School District issued RFP 26-31-04-201 for special education contracted services, due April 20, 2026, encompassing audiology, interpreting, and hearing support services at an estimated annual contract value of approximately $3,000,000. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for the deaf or hard-of-hearing, due April 15, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual scope of posted opportunities, the code shows little relevant recent activity for hearing aid assessment services.
