This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of alternate binaural or monaural loudness balance assessment using audiovisual equipment. 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 F13Z7KZ

UNSPSC 85901247 Alternate binaural or monaural loudness balance assessment using audiovisual equipment (Commodity) shows minimal recent alignment with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The code's stated definition concerns audiometric or auditory balance measurement using specialized equipment, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit sign language interpreting services, audiology services, and broad special education contracted staffing—work that falls outside the equipment-based assessment framework the code name describes. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida issued RFP 26041-DST in September 2026 for sign language interpreting services across 235 schools, requiring EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent RID/BEI certification and 24/7 availability with a $950,000 annual budget. Katy Independent School District in Texas posted RFP 2518YT in July 2026 for sign language interpreting across a six-district cooperative, requesting certified and pre-certified interpreters with hourly pricing for multiple service categories. Tacoma Public Schools in Washington posted RFP26021C in June 2026 for special education contracted services including speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, audiology, interpreting, and nursing support on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum volume.

Activity under this code spans Texas, Florida, Washington, and California, with school districts and regional health systems as primary issuing bodies. Birdville Independent School District (northeast Tarrant County, Texas) solicited special education contracted services in September 2026 (RFQ 01027, due October 21, 2026) covering 23 line items including audiologist, diagnostician, and behavioral analyst services across 30 campuses, with estimated 2025-2026 expenditures of $398,494.30. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited audiology services for Richmond State Supported Living Center in August 2026 (HHS0017735V2, due August 31, 2026), requiring Texas licensure and minimum five years' experience. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas posted a multi-vendor Catalog Discount Bid (SPE2628, due October 1, 2026) for special education and supplies over a two-year term with estimated expenditures of $2,713,541, previously awarding 99 vendors. Santa Clara County Health System in California established a nonexclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including audiology (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The code's misalignment with recent procurement activity—interpreting and general special education services dominating over equipment-based auditory assessment—suggests either miscoding of opportunities or limited current demand for the specific audiovisual assessment equipment the code describes.
