UNSPSC 85901275 Hearing screening assessment using sound field / booth is a Commodity code showing substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local contract activity. The code's title suggests procurement of audiology equipment or services focused on audiometric testing in controlled environments, yet the most-recent opportunities block contains no hearing-screening or audiology-equipment solicitations. Instead, recent activity under this code captures sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services spanning speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and related disciplines, and a health-maintenance contract from a regional council. The interpreting-services solicitations dominate the recent record, suggesting the code is being used by school districts to tag educational support services that fall outside traditional audiology or hearing-assessment procurement.

School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with Katy Independent School District (Texas), Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posting multiple recent opportunities. Katy ISD issued RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services with a proposal deadline of July 8, 2026, seeking certified and pre-certified interpreters across six school districts in the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative, with pricing structured by service category on an hourly basis and contract renewal options extending through August 31, 2031. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued RFP 26041-DST on April 6, 2026, for interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; the district currently serves approximately 750 deaf and hard-of-hearing students and operates under a Small Business Encouragement Program with a 20 percent reinvestment goal for certified small businesses in the Tampa Bay area. Eanes Independent School District (Texas) and Tacoma Public Schools issued broader special-education contracted-services RFPs that enumerate interpreting alongside speech-language pathology, audiology, and assistive technology. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Washington, with secondary activity in California (Inland Empire Health Plan). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to hearing screening or booth-based audiometric assessment; procurement professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
