UNSPSC 85901221 Acoustic reflex decay assessment is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities recorded under this code do not involve acoustic reflex decay assessment or related audiology diagnostics; instead, they predominantly solicit sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services that include interpreting as one of many line items, and unrelated health plan and NLP procurement. Sign language interpreting appears across multiple school district RFPs and represents the most concrete work actually being tagged to this code in the available record.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are independent school districts in Texas and Florida, plus Washington State's public school system, alongside one regional health plan (Inland Empire Health Plan in California) that solicited unrelated services. Katy Independent School District in Texas posted an RFP for sign language interpreting services (RFP #2518YT, due July 8, 2026) requiring certified interpreters holding Board of Educational Interpreters (BEI) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) certification, with hourly pricing across certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, CART services, and specialty interpreters serving a cooperative spanning six districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida issued RFP 26041-DST (due April 15, 2026) for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and minimum interpreter certification at EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent RID/BEI certification. Tacoma Public Schools and Eanes Independent School District both solicited broader special education contracted services on an as-needed basis, each listing interpreting as one service line among speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and related offerings. The geographic spread centers on Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Washington State, though the code shows sparse overall state and local activity and significant scope misalignment with its nominal audiology focus.
