UNSPSC 85901260 Bekesy audiometry assessment is a Commodity code that covers hearing assessment and diagnostic testing services procured by state and local education agencies. Recent opportunities reveal a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity: the solicitations posted under this code overwhelmingly request sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services (including speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and counseling), and data abstraction solutions—none of which align with audiometry or hearing assessment. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual audiometric or hearing diagnostic work. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent school districts in Texas (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD) and Tacoma Public Schools in Washington, alongside Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida. One solicitation from the Inland Empire Health Plan (a California local public health entity) tagged under this code addresses healthcare data analytics rather than hearing services, further evidencing misclassification.

The most recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida. Katy ISD issued RFP 2518YT on July 1, 2026 (due July 8, 2026) for sign language interpreting services covering the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative across six school districts, with contract value and volume unspecified but including certified and pre-certified interpreters, CART services, and certified deaf interpreters. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued RFP 26041-DST in April 2026 (due April 15, 2026) for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and requirements for EIPA level 3.5 or RID certification. Eanes ISD in Westlake, Texas issued RFP 26-31-04-201 in March 2026 (due April 20, 2026) requesting special education contracted services on an as-needed basis, with estimated annual spending of approximately $3,000,000 but no minimum volume guaranteed. The code does not reflect active procurement of hearing assessment, audiometric testing, or related diagnostic services by state and local jurisdictions.
