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. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific diagnostic service through traditional procurement channels; the recent opportunities block shows no contracts aligned with this code's nominal scope. Instead, the posted opportunities under this code span clinical services procurement broadly—emergency medical services medical director roles, community health improvement initiatives, radiology and EKG interpretation, occupational health evaluations, dental care for homeless populations, behavioral health crisis response, inmate healthcare, and employee wellness administration. The code appears to be misapplied to these opportunities, which involve clinical leadership, population health management, and facility-based care rather than audiometric speech threshold testing for hearing assessment.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Texas (via HHSC and TDA), Florida (Seminole County and Collier County), California (Solano County and San Bernardino County), Oregon (Oregon Health Authority), Georgia (Fulton County and Atlanta), Washington (HCA), Illinois (IEPA), and Nevada, reflecting activity across multiple states. However, these opportunities do not represent authentic demand for speech threshold audiometry services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county health departments, school districts, sheriff's offices, fire departments, and regional health authorities. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the commodity it nominally describes; business development professionals should verify code applicability directly with procurement officers before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification, as the mismatch between code definition and actual solicited work suggests systematic miscoding or data quality issues in the source system.
