UNSPSC 43191604: Phone face plates

It is a protective covering for the front of a fixed phone. The standard faceplate is designed around an ACO outlet. The faceplate is equipped with fiber optic connectors, a telephone jack, and an "F" style connector for video applications. The accessories include the cover, lens etc.

UNSPSC 43191604 Phone face plates is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct relevance to the nominal scope. The posted solicitations span digital signage and video-wall technologies (Gwinnett County Public Schools), Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories (Broward County), general telephone equipment and supplies (State of South Dakota), Avaya products and services (Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services), computer equipment procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), communication system maintenance for Nortel/Avaya telephone and Honeywell security systems (Hillsborough County Public Schools), low-voltage cabling installation services (City of Charlotte), telecommunications parts (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and headsets and adapters for school IT equipment (District of Columbia). None of these solicitations specifically target phone face plates as a discrete product line.

The issuing bodies span state information technology departments, county purchasing offices, school districts, city procurement bureaus, and special districts across the South, Southeast, and Midwest. State of South Dakota, Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Broward County, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Gwinnett County Public Schools, and City of Charlotte are the repeat or notable buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, South Dakota, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia over the past four months. Because the code shows no recent opportunities specifically soliciting phone face plates, the code appears inactive or misclassified in the available procurement records. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are tagging phone-plate procurements under a different UNSPSC code or whether demand for this discrete commodity is currently limited in the state and local market.
