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 (Commodity) addresses telecommunications equipment components, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code diverge significantly from the nominal scope. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple invitations for analog phones and computer equipment, the City of Philadelphia solicited prepaid cellphones and prepaid cards, and Broward County bid out Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories — none of which match phone face plates as a distinct product line. The State of South Dakota sought telephone equipment and supplies broadly, Washington State Technology Solutions established an Avaya hardware and services statewide contract, Mississippi pursued Avaya products and services, and Gwinnett County Public Schools solicited digital signage and video walls. These opportunities reflect procurement of complete telephone systems, communication platforms, and accessories rather than face plate components in isolation. The issuing bodies span state departments (South Dakota Office of Procurement Management, Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Washington State Technology Solutions), county governments (Broward County, Gwinnett County Public Schools), and cities (Philadelphia), with no standout repeat buyers in the face-plate category itself.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple TDCJ solicitations), with secondary presence in Florida (Broward County), Georgia (Gwinnett County), South Dakota, Washington, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW259396-A for analog phones, posted August 4, 2026, with responses due August 18, 2026 (IFB); the State of South Dakota's 26IFB19766 for an annual contract supplying telephone equipment and supplies, posted July 17, 2026, with proposals due August 3, 2026; Washington State Technology Solutions' RFQQ 26-RFQQ-004 for Avaya hardware, software, maintenance, and services across multiple state agencies and five counties, posted July 16, 2026, with quotations due August 6, 2026, with estimated five-year maintenance costs of $1.303 million; and Broward County's GEN2132410B1 for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories supporting the Office of Regional Communications and Technology and 911 Public Safety Answering Points, posted July 2, 2026, with bids due July 17, 2026. The code shows limited activity aligned with phone face plates as a distinct procurement line item.
