UNSPSC 85901239 Stenger assessment (Commodity) covers sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, transliteration, and audiology services that state and local education agencies, health systems, and human services departments procure to serve deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind populations in educational and clinical settings. The work spans on-demand interpreter dispatch, hearing assessment and treatment, audiologist consultation, and staff training, with interpreters and audiologists required to hold active professional licenses (RID, BEI, or state audiology credentials) and maintain continuing education. School districts dominate the recent buyer base, including Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Katy Independent School District near Houston, Tacoma Public Schools, and Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas; state health and human services commissions and county health systems also solicit under this code. The scope is reactive and contingent — districts typically award multiple vendors on as-needed or temporary bases with no guaranteed minimum volume, and response times are tight (interpreters often must respond within 30 minutes and fulfill assignments within two hours).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26041-DST in September 2026 for sign language interpreting across 235 schools and facilities with responses due April 15, 2026 and an estimated annual budget of $950,000. Birdville Independent School District released a competitive sealed proposal (RFQ 01027) in September 2026 for special education contracted services spanning 23 line items including audiology, occupational therapy, and speech language pathology, with a cost-price analysis of $398,494.30 and due date of October 21, 2026. Katy Independent School District solicited sign language interpreting services under RFP 2518YT with proposals due July 8, 2026, serving a six-district cooperative covering Katy, Bellville, Brazos, Hempstead, Sealy, and Royal ISDs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two audiology solicitations (HHS0017735 and HHS0017735V2, August and September 2026) for Richmond State Supported Living Center requiring five years of relevant experience and comprehensive insurance. Tacoma Public Schools requested proposals for special education contracted services on July 3, 2026, with an anticipated three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, released a catalog discount bid for special education supplies (SPE2628, October 1, 2026) with $2,713,541 estimated expenditures over two years and 99 prior awardees. Santa Clara County Health System in California established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories including audiology and ophthalmology (October 7, 2026), with no guaranteed work volume.
