UNSPSC 85901218: Auditory evoked potentials assessment using electrophysiologic equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of auditory evoked potentials assessment using electrophysiologic equipment. 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 F13ZL7Z

UNSPSC 85901218 Auditory evoked potentials assessment using electrophysiologic equipment is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities posted against this code involve sign language interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, special education contracted services spanning multiple disciplines (speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, audiology, diagnostician services, counseling), audiology services for state-supported living centers, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories—none of which involve auditory evoked potentials assessment or electrophysiologic diagnostic equipment. The mismatch suggests a data-entry or classification error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities.

The actual activity shows school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Birdville ISD in northeast Texas, Katy ISD in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington) and state health systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, County of Santa Clara Health System) soliciting interpreting and clinical support services on as-needed bases, typically with annual contract values ranging from approximately $400,000 to $950,000 and terms of one to three years with renewal options. Recent notice types include RFPs and competitive sealed proposals due between June and October 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple school districts and HHSC), with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County) and Washington (Tacoma). Because the code's nominal scope—electrophysiologic hearing assessment—bears no relation to the posted opportunities, this classification shows little actionable signal for firms pursuing auditory diagnostics work; the opportunities represent mainstream special education and health professional staffing procurement, not specialized audiology equipment or services.
