UNSPSC 85902961: Augmentative/alternative communication system assessment using audiovisual equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of augmentative/alternative communication system assessment using audiovisual 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 F00ZLKZ

UNSPSC 85902961 Augmentative/alternative communication system assessment using audiovisual equipment, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity most recently solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code emphasize telehealth delivery, occupational health services, cancer screening and registry operations, behavioral health and opioid-use-disorder treatment, emergency medical services staffing and billing, medical directorship and independent medical evaluation, and nursing home and recovery services—none of which involve augmentative or alternative communication (AAC) system assessments or audiovisual diagnostic equipment specific to communication disorders. The code's narrow technical scope, centered on AAC system evaluation using audiovisual tools, appears disconnected from the broad health service and clinical operations work state and local procurement offices are actually buying under this number.

The mix of recent issuing bodies spans state health agencies (Colorado Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Nevada Health Authority, New Jersey Department of Health), county health systems and behavioral health departments (Santa Clara, Ventura, Seminole, Forsyth, Rockland, Solano, Jackson, DeKalb), municipal fire and emergency services (Atlanta, Sarasota, Boulder, Chicago, Phoenix), public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center, Inland Empire Health Plan), school districts (Parkway), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, H-GAC, Region 7). Geographic spread includes California (San Mateo, Santa Clara, Ventura, Inland Empire), Colorado, Texas (multiple facilities statewide), Florida (Seminole, Sarasota, Brevard), Georgia (DeKalb, Cobb, Forsyth), Nevada, Kansas (Sedgwick County), New York (Rockland County), Oregon, Illinois, Arizona, Missouri, and the District of Columbia. No meaningful recent activity directly supporting AAC system assessment procurement was identified in the opportunity set.
