UNSPSC 85901268: Pure tone audiometry, air assessment using sound field / booth

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of pure tone audiometry, air assessment using sound field / boothpure tone audiometry, air assessment using sound field / booth. 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 F13Z12Z

UNSPSC 85901268 Pure tone audiometry, air assessment using sound field / booth is a Commodity code that state and local governments are not actively procuring under this specific classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a substantial mismatch between the nominal audiometric scope and the work actually being solicited. Of the seven recent state and local postings associated with the code, the overwhelming majority solicit sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services encompassing speech-language pathology and occupational therapy, and unrelated health technology procurement—none of which involve pure tone audiometry or audiometric booth assessment. The single posting that touches audiometry-adjacent work (Tacoma Public Schools' RFP26021C for special education contracted services) lists audiology as one item in a broad service menu alongside physical therapy, behavioral support, and interpreting, with no indication of demand for standalone audiometric assessment or sound-field booth work.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span independent school districts in Texas (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD) and Washington (Tacoma Public Schools), a large urban school district in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), a regional health plan in California (Inland Empire Health Plan), and a regional council (Houston-Galveston Area Council). Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Washington and California. The geographic and issuing-body mix suggests the code classification is a misalignment rather than a signal of active procurement demand for audiometric services—the opportunities are predominantly school-district special education contracting (interpreting, therapy, diagnostics) and health-plan data systems work, not hearing assessment. No recent opportunity explicitly solicits pure tone audiometry, sound-field booth installation, or related audiometric equipment or services. The code shows little relevant recent activity.
