UNSPSC 85901208 Aural rehabilitation status assessment using audiovisual equipment is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured. The code nominally describes equipment-based hearing assessment, yet the recent solicitations predominantly cover interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing populations, audiology staffing, and broader special education contracted services — none of which directly map to audiovisual hearing-assessment equipment or aural rehabilitation assessment technology. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted an RFP (26041-DST) due April 15, 2026 for sign language interpreting services spanning 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000. Katy Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP (#2518YT) due July 8, 2026 for sign language interpreters serving the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas solicited special education contracted services (01027) due October 21, 2026 covering 23 line items including audiologist, speech language therapist, and vision evaluation at $398,494.30 cost-price analyzed from 2025–2026 spend. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued two iterations of an audiology-services bid (HHS0017735 and HHS0017735V2) for Richmond State Supported Living Center, both due in August 2026, requiring five years of relevant audiology experience and Texas licensure.

The issuing bodies include independent school districts and county school systems in Florida and Texas, a state health and human services agency, a county health system (Santa Clara), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas; H-GAC in Houston). The geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, where Katy ISD, Birdville ISD, HHSC, and Region 7 have all posted opportunities; secondary activity appears in Florida (Hillsborough County) and California (Santa Clara County). Tacoma Public Schools posted an RFP (RFP26021C) due July 3, 2026 for special education contracted services including audiology and interpreting. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 with audiology as one of 13 eligible service categories. Because the code shows minimal direct activity in aural rehabilitation assessment technology or audiovisual hearing-assessment equipment — the core scope the Commodity code nominally describes — and recent opportunities center instead on staffing and interpreting services, this code appears to carry limited relevance to the procurement opportunities currently available in state and local markets.
