UNSPSC 85901254 Select picture audiometry assessment using sound field / booth is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve audiometry, picture assessment, or sound-field testing. Instead, the code shows interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in educational and health-care settings. The scope includes sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, transliteration, tactile interpreting, and communication access real-time translation (CART), delivered on an as-needed basis to serve students, patients, and staff across school districts and health plans. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and public school systems, along with health plans serving public populations. Katy Independent School District (Texas), Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Eanes Independent School District (Texas) have all solicited interpreting services under broad special education contracted services procurements that include visual and hearing support, audiology, and related services alongside interpreting.

Recent activity spans Texas, Washington, and Florida. Katy ISD issued RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, seeking certified and pre-certified interpreters with BEI or RID certification to serve six school districts across the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative on an hourly basis through August 31, 2031. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted RFP 26041-DST (due April 15, 2026) to procure interpreting services for approximately 75 deaf and hard-of-hearing students requiring sign language interpreters across 235 schools, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and an anticipated single primary contractor plus multiple alternate awardees. Tacoma Public Schools and Eanes ISD issued broader special education contracted services RFPs in June and March 2026 respectively, each naming interpreting as one of multiple service lines within comprehensive procurement vehicles with three-year initial terms and renewal options. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations suggests the code is misapplied in these opportunities; the sourced activity reflects interpreting services, not audiometry assessment.
