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 F09Z2KZ

UNSPSC 85901307 Auditory processing treatment using audiovisual equipment is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure sign language interpreting and related hearing-support services for students with deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind needs in educational settings. The recent opportunities block shows a marked mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity: the six recent solicitations focus overwhelmingly on sign language interpreting services, oral interpreting, transliteration, and tactile interpreting delivered in schools, with minimal activity under the code's stated audiovisual-equipment framing. Independent school districts and public school systems are the primary issuing bodies, with opportunities posted by Katy ISD (Texas), Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Eanes ISD (Texas). A secondary opportunity from Inland Empire Health Plan (California) for a data abstraction and NLP solution and one from Houston-Galveston Area Council for AAA health maintenance are plainly unrelated to interpreting or auditory processing and appear to be miscoded under this UNSPSC category.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with a single opportunity from Washington State. The most representative solicitations are Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services (posted July 8, 2026, due July 8, 2026) seeking certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, CART services, and certified deaf interpreters across a six-district cooperative for a one-year term with four optional renewals; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST (posted April 6, 2026, due April 15, 2026) requesting sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, transliteration, and tactile interpreting services with EIPA level 3.5 or RID certification, 24/7 availability within 30 minutes, and a $950,000 estimated annual budget with one primary contractor and multiple alternates. Eanes ISD's RFP 26-31-04-201 (posted March 15, 2026, due April 20, 2026) bundles interpreting with broader special education contracted services including speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and nursing, with an estimated $3 million annual spend. All three require current professional certifications (RID, BEI, or EIPA level 3.5), liability insurance, and compliance with Texas or state education codes; none frame the work around audiovisual equipment, suggesting the code assignment does not reflect how these jurisdictions actually classify or solicit interpreter services in practice.
