UNSPSC 85902828 Binaural hearing aid device fitting using audiometer is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch: the code nominally covers hearing aid fitting services, but the posted solicitations are primarily for sign language interpreting, special education contracted services spanning multiple therapeutic disciplines, and data abstraction technology — none of which align with the audiometer-based hearing aid fitting scope the code describes. One solicitation does reference audiology services (Tacoma Public Schools RFP26021C and Eanes ISD RFP 26-31-04-201 list audiology among special education contracted services), but these are ancillary to broader educational service packages rather than dedicated hearing aid fitting procurement. The code shows no substantive recent activity in its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of the five recent opportunities spans Texas (Katy ISD in Houston area, Tacoma Public Schools in Washington, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa Florida, Houston-Galveston Area Council, Inland Empire Health Plan in California, and Eanes ISD in Westlake Texas), with school districts representing the dominant issuing-body type. Katy ISD appears twice with the same RFP 2518YT for sign language interpreting services (posted July 1 and July 8, 2026, due July 8, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26041-DST for interpreting services (due April 15, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $950,000), and Tacoma Public Schools and Eanes ISD each issued special education contracted services RFPs that include interpreting and audiology among multiple service lines. The concentration of school district activity and the consistent absence of dedicated hearing aid fitting or audiometer-based audiology procurement suggests this Commodity code does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under its designation.
