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 F09Z2YZ

UNSPSC 85901304 Auditory processing treatment using other equipment is a Commodity code for interpreting and related hearing support services in educational settings, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied primarily to sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, transliteration, and tactile interpreting rather than auditory processing in the narrower clinical sense. School districts and regional education cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school districts in Texas and Florida leading recent activity. The work spans certified and pre-certified interpreters serving deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind students and staff across multiple schools and facilities on an as-needed basis, with service requirements determined by district coordinators or designees. Interpreters must typically hold current Board of Educational Interpreters (BEI) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) certification, with some districts specifying EIPA Level 3.5 or equivalent credentials. Services include standard school-hours interpreting, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), certified deaf interpreters, multilingual interpretation, and emergency response, with pricing structured on hourly rates by service category and specialization.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with recent procurements from Katy Independent School District (RFP #2518YT, July 8, 2026 response deadline), Eanes Independent School District (RFP 26-31-04-201, April 20, 2026), Tacoma Public Schools in Washington (RFP26021C, July 3, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida (RFP 26041-DST, April 15, 2026, estimated annual budget of $950,000). Contracts typically run twelve to thirty-six months with renewal options extending three to five years total, with no guaranteed minimum service volume. Katy ISD seeks interpreters serving six cooperating districts; Hillsborough County Public Schools currently serves approximately 750 deaf and hard-of-hearing students and awards one primary contractor plus multiple alternate awardees. Evaluation criteria consistently weight qualifications and certification heavily alongside cost and reputation, with districts increasingly emphasizing 24/7 availability, rapid response times, and compliance with state education codes on criminal history review.
