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 F14Z0YZ

UNSPSC 85901151 Cochlear implant assessment using other equipment is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code reflect sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services (including speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy), and health maintenance services—none of which involve cochlear implant assessment or related auditory equipment. Katy Independent School District (Texas) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) are both soliciting sign language interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students under RFPs with response dates in July and April 2026 respectively, while Tacoma Public Schools (Washington) and Eanes Independent School District (Texas) are seeking broader special education contracted services that encompass interpreting along with multiple therapy modalities. The code appears to be systematically tagged to special education and accessibility services without clear alignment to cochlear implant assessment specifically.

The geographic spread of recent activity extends across Texas, Florida, and Washington, with additional activity from California (Inland Empire Health Plan's data abstraction and NLP procurement, which appears unrelated to this code). School districts and regional education cooperatives dominate the issuing bodies using this code for interpreting and special education services. The two most concrete recent opportunities are Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services (due July 8, 2026), which covers certified and pre-certified ASL interpreters and CART services across six districts in the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027 and renewal options through 2031, and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for deaf or hard-of-hearing students (due April 15, 2026), estimated at $950,000 annually with response within 30 minutes and fulfillment within two hours. The code shows minimal recent activity directly relevant to cochlear implant assessment procurement.
