UNSPSC 85901232: Eustachian tube function assessment using tympanometer

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of eustachian tube function assessment using tympanometer. 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 F13ZF3Z

UNSPSC 85901232 Eustachian tube function assessment using tympanometer is a Commodity code that shows a marked mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect diagnostic audiology equipment or hearing-assessment services; instead, they document sign language interpreting, special education services, data analytics platforms, and health plan administration — work unrelated to the code's specified medical-device classification. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose.

The opportunities present span school districts and regional health entities across Texas, Washington, and Florida, with Katy Independent School District, Tacoma Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Eanes Independent School District, and Inland Empire Health Plan appearing as issuing bodies. Katy ISD solicited sign language interpreting services (RFP #2518YT, due July 8, 2026) for certified and pre-certified ASL interpreters serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students across a six-district cooperative, with pricing structured by service category and contract renewal options extending through August 31, 2031. 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 and staff, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and a requirement for interpreters to maintain EIPA level 3.5 or RID National Certification. Neither opportunity reflects the audiology or tympanometry work the code nominates. The remaining opportunities—Tacoma Public Schools' special education services contract (RFP26021C, due July 3, 2026), Eanes ISD's special education contract (RFP 26-31-04-201, due April 20, 2026), and Inland Empire Health Plan's data abstraction and NLP solution (RFP #26-06970, due May 1, 2026)—are similarly distant from hearing-assessment equipment. The classification appears to reflect a data-entry error or miscoding on the issuing bodies' end rather than a legitimate market signal for tympanometry procurement.
