UNSPSC 85901269 Pure tone audiometry, air assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead cluster around interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, special education contracted services spanning speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and educational diagnostics, and health professional staffing including audiology. State and local governments use this code tag to solicit a broad range of services for students with hearing loss and related disabilities — interpreting (sign language, oral, transliteration, and tactile), audiology assessments and hearing aid services, and supplemental special education staffing across school districts, state health systems, and county health authorities. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the education and public health sectors: independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Birdville ISD, Katy ISD, Tacoma Public Schools) dominate recent solicitations, with secondary activity from state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and regional purchasing consortiums (H-GAC).

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST (posted September 21, 2026, proposals due April 15, 2026) for sign language interpreting services across 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and SBEP small-business reinvestment requirements; Birdville Independent School District's RFP 01027 (posted September 18, 2026, proposals due October 21, 2026) for 23 line items of special education contracted services including audiologist and dyslexia evaluator roles with a cost baseline of $398,494.30; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's audiology services solicitation HHS0017735V2 (posted August 17, 2026, bids due August 31, 2026) for Richmond State Supported Living Center with mandatory five years of relevant experience and Texas audiologist licensure. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's multi-vendor catalog discount bid SPE2628 (posted August 24, 2026, bids due October 1, 2026) covers special education supplies across cooperative members with estimated two-year expenditures of $2,713,541. Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting (proposals due July 8, 2026) serves six cooperating school districts across the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative and runs through August 31, 2031 with annual renewal options. The code shows active and sustained demand for interpreting and audiology services in school settings, though the mismatch between the code definition and what is actually being purchased warrants scrutiny before pursuit.
