UNSPSC 85903172: Nonspoken language treatment using augmentative / alternative communication equipment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a physical rehabilitation intervention or procedure of nonspoken language treatment using augmentative / alternative communication 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 F06Z0MZ

UNSPSC 85903172 Nonspoken language treatment using augmentative/alternative communication equipment is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health services, emergency medical services administration, inmate healthcare, employee wellness programs, cancer screening, dental services, mental health crisis intervention, representative payee services, phlebotomy, background screening, biometric screening, and histology laboratory services—none of which involve augmentative or alternative communication (AAC) equipment or treatment for individuals with speech or language impairments. The opportunities reflect healthcare service delivery and administrative support across multiple issuing bodies, not procurement of AAC technology or related interventions.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Seminole County Florida, Solano County California, Collier County Florida, Fulton County Georgia, Illinois IEPA, Washington County Oregon, Bartow County Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Agriculture, Oregon Health Authority, Oregon State Police, South Dakota Department of Health, Nevada Department of Public Safety, Illinois Department of Human Services), city and regional governments (City of Atlanta, City of Phoenix, City of Ocala), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Maricopa County Community College District, Northside Independent School District, Katy Independent School District, Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and healthcare systems (Harris Health, Brevard County Medical Examiner). The concentration of activity appears heaviest in Texas, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest, with Texas particularly active across multiple state agencies and school districts. The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity for AAC equipment or nonspoken language treatment services; procurement under this code appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than a viable market segment.
