UNSPSC 85902942: Distorted speech 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 F00ZS1Z

UNSPSC 85902942 Distorted speech assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code naming a single specialized diagnostic service line that state and local governments rarely procure directly. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal category; instead, state and local bodies are actively buying emergency medical services oversight, community health program implementation, radiological and EKG interpretation, occupational health screenings, behavioral health interventions, dental services, and employee wellness platforms—none of which involve distorted speech assessment or audiometry. Seminole County's RFP527726GCM (due August 5, 2026) seeks a Medical Director for its EMS system; Solano County's solicitation (posted July 6, 2026) requests Community Health Improvement Plan implementation across behavioral health and maternal/infant health; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017505, due July 20, 2026) is procuring radiology and EKG read services at 24 state hospitals and living centers; and Abilene State School for the Blind (HHS0017600, due July 16, 2026) is requesting Orientation & Mobility specialist services. The code exhibits no identifiable recent activity genuinely matching distorted speech assessment procurement—no school districts, state health departments, or local health authorities appear to be soliciting audiometric testing or speech assessment services under this category.

Issuing bodies across the recent-opportunities block span state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS, South Dakota Department of Health, Oregon Health Authority), counties (Seminole, Solano, Fulton), cities (Atlanta, Phoenix), school districts (Maricopa Community College, Austin Independent, Cypress Fairbanks), and specialized institutions (Abilene State School). Geographic spread covers Florida, California, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, and Washington. The code shows no concentration among particular jurisdiction types or regions—activity is nationally dispersed and fragmented across health, education, and social services sectors. The mismatch between the UNSPSC label and the actual work being procured suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or mission drift in how the code is being applied. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for distorted speech assessment purposes and investigate whether the underlying customer need aligns with occupational health, behavioral health, primary care, or EMS administrative services instead.
