UNSPSC 85903051: Speech threshold assessment using audiometer

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of speech threshold 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 F00Z11Z

UNSPSC 85903051 Speech threshold assessment using audiometer is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied to its nominal scope. The code describes audiometric testing specifically for speech-threshold assessment, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code show no alignment with that service line. State and local governments soliciting under this code are not currently buying speech-threshold audiometry; instead, the tagged opportunities span virtual urgent care, medical services contracting, program of all-inclusive care for the elderly, cancer registry services, retinal screening devices, emergency medical technician staffing, employee health clinic operations, occupational health services, psychological evaluation, and opioid use disorder treatment and recovery programming. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix are broad but disconnected from the code's nominal purpose. Issuing bodies include state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority), county health systems (Santa Clara, Ventura, Sedgwick, Forsyth), municipal agencies (City of Atlanta, City of Phoenix, City of Ocala), school districts (Parkway School District), county sheriffs' offices (Boulder County, Seminole County), and behavioral health departments across multiple states—none with demonstrated recent procurement for audiometric services.

The recent opportunities reveal that this code may be a taxonomy misclassification or a legacy categorization rarely used in current state and local practice. Representative recent solicitations include the Nevada Health Authority's RFP 41NHA-S4038 for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly operations across multiple Nevada counties with proposals due December 10, 2026 (a comprehensive geriatric care program that includes audiology services but does not isolate speech-threshold assessment), San Mateo County's handheld retinal screening devices procurement with proposals due November 6, 2026 (vision care, not audiometry), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's travel nurse staffing RFQ with proposals due January 6, 2027 (clinical staffing across multiple ancillary categories excluding direct audiology assessment). No recent state or local procurement documents explicitly solicit speech-threshold assessment services, suggesting this code sees little active demand in the current market or that buyers are routing similar work through broader family or class-level codes rather than this specific commodity designation.
