UNSPSC 85901239 Stenger assessment, a Commodity code, spans sign language interpreting and related assessment services that state and local school districts procure to serve deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind students. Recent solicitations show districts buying certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), tactile interpreting, oral interpreting and transliteration services, and certified deaf interpreters on an as-needed basis, typically through multi-year contracts with annual renewal options. Issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and public school systems, with no minimum volume guarantees. Interpreters must hold current Board of Educational Interpreters (BEI) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) certification, maintain continuing education, and in some cases demonstrate EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent certification. Services are delivered across multiple school facilities and during both standard and extended hours, with 24/7 availability and rapid response requirements (typically 30 minutes to two hours) in some jurisdictions.
