UNSPSC 85901277 Hearing screening assessment using occupational hearing equipment is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The recent postings tagged to this code overwhelmingly procure interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and staff, audiology services for state facility residents, and general special education contracted services including audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology—none of which involve hearing screening assessment equipment. A single opportunity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission does procure audiology services (which can include hearing assessment), but the focus is on comprehensive audiology identification, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of auditory and vestibular impairments at a state-supported living center, not equipment procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The actual activity under recent code tags spans school districts, state health and human services agencies, county health systems, and regional purchasing cooperatives across Texas, Florida, and California. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa is procuring sign language interpreting services with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas is requesting special education contracted services—including audiologist and other specialties—with proposals due October 21, 2026, and a cost-price analysis of $398,494.30. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted audiology services bids for Richmond State Supported Living Center, closed August 31, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, posted a two-year cooperative catalog discount bid on special education and supplies with estimated expenditures of $2,713,541 through October 2028. Katy Independent School District solicited sign language interpreting services under RFP 2518YT with proposals due July 8, 2026. Tacoma Public Schools posted special education contracted services including audiology and interpreting with proposals due July 3, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including audiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026.
