This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of sensorineural acuity level assessment using audiometer. 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 F00Z41Z

UNSPSC 85902933 Sensorineural acuity level assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect audiometric testing or hearing assessment services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code solicit sign language interpreting, special education contracted services encompassing multiple therapy modalities, health maintenance services, and data abstraction—none of which align with the nominal scope of audiometer-based acuity assessment. The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for disability-related services more broadly.

The tagged opportunities originate from school districts and regional health entities across Texas, Florida, Washington, and California. Katy Independent School District posted two listings for sign language interpreting services (RFP 2518YT, due July 8, 2026), requiring BEI or RID certification and offering hourly rates across certified ASL interpreters, pre-certified interpreters, CART services, and specialty interpreters for September 2026 through August 2031 on a cooperative basis across six districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued RFP 26041-DST (due April 15, 2026) for interpreting services across 235 schools with an estimated $950,000 annual budget and 24/7 availability requirements at EIPA 3.5 or RID National Certification minimum. Eanes Independent School District in Westlake, Texas posted RFP 26-31-04-201 (due April 20, 2026) for broad special education contracted services including interpreting and audiology on an as-needed basis with estimated annual spending near $3,000,000. Tacoma Public Schools solicited special education contracted services including audiology and interpreting (RFP26021C, due July 3, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated audiometer-assessment definition.
