UNSPSC 85901246 Alternate binaural or monaural loudness balance assessment, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal audiology assessment scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations actually procuring loudness balance assessment services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span sign language interpreting for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, broad special education contracted services covering multiple disciplines, audiology services at a state-supported living center, temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicles, and cooperative purchasing of special education supplies—none of which center on audiometric loudness balancing as a distinct service line. The code appears to have been applied to opportunities with tangential connections to audiology or hearing-related work rather than to the specific diagnostic or assessment procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local issuing bodies represented in the broader audiology and special education services opportunities include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida; Birdville ISD and Katy ISD in Texas; Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county health system (Santa Clara County, California), a regional cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and a multi-state purchasing consortium (H-GAC). Recent solicitations for audiology services include the Texas HHSC's bid for audiologist services at Richmond State Supported Living Center (bids due August 10 and August 31, 2026) and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary audiology staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting loudness balance assessment and should be treated as inactive for procurement targeting purposes in the current cycle.
