UNSPSC 85901249 Visual reinforcement audiometry assessment (Commodity) encompasses hearing and audiology services that state and local governments procure for students, residents of state facilities, and health system patients, including audiologic assessment, diagnosis, treatment of hearing and vestibular impairments, hearing aid services, and staff training. Recent solicitations show school districts, state health agencies, health systems, and special education cooperatives buying audiology services alongside broader special education and health professional staffing contracts, often bundled with speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, sign language interpreting, and related clinical services. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Birdville ISD in Texas, Katy ISD in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Texas school districts and state agencies dominate recent activity, with Florida representation through Hillsborough County and California through Santa Clara County.

Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041RFPDST for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students (due April 15, 2026, estimated annual budget $950,000, with one primary contractor and multiple alternates anticipated); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's competitive bid HHS0017735V2 for comprehensive audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center (due August 31, 2026, requiring five years of relevant experience and Texas licensure); Tacoma Public Schools' RFP26021C for special education contracted services including audiology and hearing support (due July 3, 2026, initial three-year term renewable for up to two additional one-year periods); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's multi-vendor catalog discount bid SPE2628 for special education and supplies (due October 1, 2026, estimated $2.71 million over two years, serving cooperative members across the cooperative's footprint in Texas). Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary audiology staffing (due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed volume. Audiology service contracts typically require current state licensure, five years of relevant experience, professional liability insurance ($1 million minimum), verifiable references, and background clearance for facility or school access; pricing structures include both hourly rates and firm fixed-price arrangements depending on issuer.
