UNSPSC 85902817 Assistive listening device device fitting is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The actual solicitations show school districts, health systems, and purchasing cooperatives procuring interpreting services for deaf and hard-of-hearing populations—sign language interpreters, oral interpreters, transliterators, and audiology services—rather than device fitting per se. Work being solicited includes educational interpreting across multiple school campuses, audiology assessment and hearing aid services at state-supported living centers, temporary staffing for health system audiology positions, and special education contracted services bundling interpreting with related ancillary health professional support. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Birdville ISD and Katy ISD in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System in California), and purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 ESC in Texas and H-GAC). Interpreters and audiology professionals typically must hold state licensure or national certification (RID, BEI, or Texas audiologist license with minimum five years experience), maintain continuing education, and respond to urgent requests within specified timeframes.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST (due April 15, 2026) for sign language interpreting services across 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and a 20 percent small-business reinvestment requirement; Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT (due July 8, 2026) for certified and pre-certified interpreters serving a six-district cooperative with hourly pricing across multiple service categories; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation HHS0017735V2 (due August 31, 2026) for audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center with comprehensive insurance and five-year experience mandates; and Tacoma Public Schools' RFP 26021C (due July 3, 2026) for special education contracted services including interpreting, audiology, and assistive technology translation on an as-needed basis with no volume guarantee. Santa Clara County Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary audiology staffing with no guaranteed work. Contracts typically run one to three years with options to renew annually, and pricing is commonly submitted as hourly rates or firm, fixed prices including all labor, materials, and travel costs.
