UNSPSC 85902817 Assistive listening device device fitting, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity focused primarily on sign language interpreting and broader special education contracted services that include hearing support and interpreting modalities. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect school district demand for on-demand, as-needed interpreting services spanning sign language interpreting, oral interpreting, transliteration, and tactile interpreting delivered in educational environments. Katy Independent School District (Texas) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) are actively soliciting certified or pre-certified sign language interpreters serving deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind students; interpreters must hold current Board of Educational Interpreters (BEI) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) certification, with some jurisdictions (notably Hillsborough County) requiring minimum EIPA level 3.5 or equivalent. Beyond stand-alone interpreting, the code also tags special education contracted services opportunities from Tacoma Public Schools (Washington), Eanes Independent School District (Texas), and others where interpreting and audiology services are bundled with speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and related supports—though the interpreting component is one element of a larger special education service portfolio rather than the primary focus.

School districts dominate issuing activity under this code, with Texas and Florida districts posting the most recent and detailed solicitations. Katy ISD (Texas) issued RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services due July 8, 2026, seeking hourly pricing across certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, general interpreting services, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), specialty interpreters, and travel fees, with a potential five-year initial-plus-renewal term through August 2031 across the West 10 RDSPD/Deaf Education Cooperative. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for deaf or hard-of-hearing students and staff across 235 schools with an estimated annual budget of $950,000, interpreters required to respond within 30 minutes and fulfill assignments within two hours, and automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods. Eanes ISD (Texas) and Tacoma Public Schools (Washington) issued broader special education contracted services RFPs in which interpreting and audiology appear as line items within a larger service scope. No minimum volume of work is guaranteed under any of these contracts.
