UNSPSC 85902820: Assistive listening device device fitting using hearing aid selection / fitting / test equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of assistive listening device device fitting using hearing aid selection / fitting / test equipment. 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 F0DZ55Z

UNSPSC 85902820 Assistive listening device device fitting using hearing aid selection / fitting / test equipment is a Commodity code showing significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities actually posted under it. The six most-recent opportunities tagged with this code are overwhelmingly for sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services (which include interpreting among many other therapy and support disciplines), and a healthcare data platform—none of which involve hearing aid fitting, selection, or audiological device testing. The interpreting services solicitations (Katy ISD in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington, and Eanes ISD in Texas) each explicitly request certified sign language interpreters, CART services, and related accessibility accommodations for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and staff, with pricing structured on hourly rates by service type rather than device provision or fitting. The special education contracts encompassing audiology and assistive technology translation services describe broad portfolios of clinical disciplines delivered on as-needed bases, not the specialized fitting and testing services the code nominally describes. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose.

Geographic activity in the recent posting cycle concentrates in Texas (Katy ISD, Eanes ISD in Westlake, Houston-Galveston Area Council) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), with secondary representation in Washington (Tacoma Public Schools) and California (Inland Empire Health Plan, though its data abstraction and NLP procurement is unrelated to the code's scope). School districts and county public schools dominate the issuing bodies, along with a regional council and a health plan entity. Representative recent opportunities include Katy ISD's RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services with proposals due July 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. central time, and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals across 235 schools with a due date of April 15, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. eastern time and an estimated annual budget of $950,000. No opportunities in the recent block address hearing aid fitting, selection, testing, or the assistive listening device services described in the code's title.
