UNSPSC 85901245 Tone decay assessment using tympanometer is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic audiometric test, but the recent solicitations tagged under it predominantly cover interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing populations, audiology services more broadly, and special education staffing — none of which center on tone decay assessment or tympanometry specifically. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa solicited sign language interpreting services (RFP 26041-DST, due April 15, 2026) for $950,000 annually; Birdville ISD in Texas sought special education contracted services including audiology across 23 service lines (RFP 01027, due October 21, 2026) for $398,494.30; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two separate solicitations for comprehensive audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center (HHS0017735, due August 31, 2026 and HHS0017735V2, due August 31, 2026). Katy ISD posted an RFP for sign language interpreting (RFP 2518YT, due July 8, 2026) covering certified and pre-certified interpreters across a six-district cooperative. The code's recent activity does not reflect a coherent procurement category but rather a mismatch between the nominal commodity description and the work actually being solicited.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, where Birdville ISD, Katy ISD, Richmond State Supported Living Center, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) all posted solicitations between May and October 2026. Florida activity appears in the Hillsborough County Public Schools opportunity. California's Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing including audiology (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies mix school districts (Hillsborough, Birdville, Katy, Tacoma), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7, H-GAC), and county health systems. The code does not cleanly capture a single procurement stream; instead, it appears to serve as a catch-all tag for audio-related health services across education and state health environments. Contractors pursuing this code should expect that actual opportunities will address interpreting, audiology staffing, or special education support services rather than diagnostic equipment or tympanometric testing specifically.
