UNSPSC 85902916 Masking patterns assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal taxonomy description. The sourced solicitations—spanning sign language interpreting services, special education contracted services, audiology services, and health professional staffing—reflect a broader special education and health support procurement landscape rather than technical audiometric assessment narrowly. State and local governments buying under or near this code are primarily school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Birdville ISD, Katy ISD, Tacoma Public Schools), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission at a state supported living center, and regional purchasing cooperatives and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, H-GAC). The work actually being solicited includes sign language and oral interpreting for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, comprehensive audiology services including hearing aid evaluation and fitting, speech language pathology and occupational therapy, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC audiology services in Richmond, Birdville ISD and Katy ISD in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, H-GAC cooperative spanning Houston-Galveston) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26041-DST for sign language and interpreting services with an estimated annual budget of $950,000 and proposals due April 15, 2026; Birdville ISD's competitive sealed proposal solicitation (01027) for special education contracted services across 23 line items including audiology, with cost-price analysis of $398,494.30 and proposals due October 21, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017735V2 for audiology services at Richmond State Supported Living Center, with bids due August 31, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a multi-vendor catalog discount bid (SPE2628) for special education and supplies with estimated expenditures of $2,713,541 over two years and bids due October 1, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting masking patterns assessment or pure-tone audiometry as discrete line items; the audiology work identified appears bundled within broader special education and health professional contracting vehicles.
