UNSPSC 85901224: Acoustic reflex threshold assessment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of acoustic reflex threshold assessment. 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 F13ZHZZ

UNSPSC 85901224 Acoustic reflex threshold assessment (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code instead solicit sign language interpreting services, audiology services, special education contracted services, and health professional staffing—none of which involve acoustic reflex threshold testing or audiometric assessment equipment. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity suggests either a systematic classification error in the state and local system or that this code is not actively used for its intended purpose in the jurisdictions posting opportunities.

No state and local procurement opportunities meeting the actual definition of acoustic reflex threshold assessment (a Commodity code for diagnostic audiology equipment or testing procedures) appear in the recent posting activity. The opportunities listed instead reflect demand for human services—interpreters, audiologists, and health professionals providing direct clinical care—rather than diagnostic equipment, devices, or commodity-level assessment services. Jurisdictions posting these opportunities include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Katy Independent School District in Texas, Birdville Independent School District in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), a state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county health system (Santa Clara County, California), purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and a regional council (H-GAC in Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Washington and California. Until the code is correctly aligned with the services state and local governments are actually buying, or until genuine acoustic reflex threshold assessment opportunities surface, this Commodity code shows no actionable procurement market signal.
