UNSPSC 85901252 Select picture audiometry assessment is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying primarily as sign language interpreting and related special education contracted services—a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what recent procurement activity actually solicits. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, with Katy Independent School District (Texas), Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Eanes Independent School District (Texas) all posting RFPs for interpreting services, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, audiology, and assistive technology support during the past three months. The services span certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters holding Board of Educational Interpreters (BEI) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) certification, pre-certified interpreters, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), and specialized hearing and visual support for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind students. Contract awards typically span one to three years with renewal options extending four to five years total, and pricing is bid on hourly or unit-rate bases across multiple service categories with no guaranteed minimum volumes.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), with activity also in Washington State (Tacoma Public Schools). Katy ISD issued RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services to serve six school districts in the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative, with proposals due July 8, 2026, evaluating vendors on purchase price (30 percent), reputation and quality (25 percent), and district alignment (15 percent), with certified and pre-certified interpreters both sought. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted RFP 26041-DST in April 2026 for interpreting services across 235 schools, requiring EIPA Level 3.5 or RID/BEI certification, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; the district anticipates awarding one primary contractor and multiple alternates to cover approximately 75 deaf and hard-of-hearing students requiring interpreters. Eanes ISD issued RFP 26-31-04-201 for special education contracted services on an indefinite-quantity basis with estimated annual spending of approximately $3 million, proposals due April 20, 2026, encompassing interpreting, audiology, speech-language pathology, occupational and physical therapy, and assistive technology, with no minimum volume guaranteed.
