UNSPSC 85901272: Hearing screening assessment using cochlear implant equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of hearing screening assessment using cochlear implant equipment. 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 F13Z09Z

UNSPSC 85901272 Hearing screening assessment using cochlear implant equipment is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no activity in cochlear implant testing or audiometric assessment; instead, they overwhelmingly solicit sign language interpreting services and broader special education contracted services that include interpreting as one component among speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing support. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity in its stated domain.

School districts in Texas, Florida, and Washington account for all identifiable recent opportunities. Katy Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP #2518YT on July 1, 2026, for sign language interpreting services across a seven-district cooperative, with proposals due July 8, 2026, seeking certified American Sign Language interpreters, Communication Access Real-Time Translation specialists, and multilingual interpreters across the 2026–2031 contract period. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26041-DST on April 6, 2026, for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students across 235 schools, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; the district specified EIPA Level 3.5 or RID National Certification as minimum qualifications and noted a doubling of interpreter vacancies since 2021–2022. Tacoma Public Schools (Washington) posted RFP26021C on June 11, 2026, for special education contracted services including interpreting, audiology, and visual and hearing support, with proposals due July 3, 2026. Eanes Independent School District (Texas) solicited similar services via RFP 26-31-04-201 on March 15, 2026, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $3,000,000 and proposals due April 20, 2026. These opportunities reflect active demand for interpreters and hearing-related support services in school districts, though the code's formal scope in cochlear implant diagnostics does not appear to drive current procurement volume in this dataset.
