This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of cochlear implant assessment using electrophysiologic equipment.

UNSPSC 85901156 Cochlear implant assessment using electrophysiologic equipment is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services spanning multiple therapeutic disciplines, and data abstraction technology — none of which involve cochlear implant assessment or electrophysiologic equipment. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to a broader category of hearing and communication support services than the code's nominal scope reflects.

School districts and regional education entities dominate recent activity in this category grouping, with Katy Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), and Eanes Independent School District (Texas) all soliciting interpreting and special education contracted services on an as-needed basis with multi-year terms and no minimum volume guarantees. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas and Florida, with additional activity in Washington state. Representative recent solicitations include Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services (proposals due July 8, 2026), which seeks certified and pre-certified interpreters for a West Texas cooperative spanning six districts; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for deaf or hard-of-hearing students with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; and Eanes ISD's RFP 26-31-04-201 for special education contracted services with an estimated annual spend of approximately $3 million and proposals due April 20, 2026. Interpreting services solicitations typically require current Board of Educational Interpreters or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf certification and emphasize 24/7 availability, rapid response times, and compliance with state education codes regarding criminal history review.
