UNSPSC 43191607: Phone headset ear or speaker cushions

Replaceable speaker or ear covers of a headset for fixed or mobile phones

UNSPSC 43191607 Phone headset ear or speaker cushions (Commodity) represents replacement and wear components for telephony equipment, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured. The recent solicitations span analog phones, prepaid cellphones, telephone equipment and supplies, Avaya and Plantronics hardware systems, and computer equipment—none of which align with consumable headset cushion components. The one solicitation that does match the code's scope is Broward County's July 2026 bid for Plantronics headsets and accessories (GEN2132410B1, due July 17, 2026), which explicitly includes replacement ear cushions in leather and foam along with complete headset systems. This authorized-dealer procurement serves the Office of Regional Communications and Technology, county 911 Public Safety Answering Points, and other County agencies under an open-end indefinite-quantity contract with SBE and CBE preferential consideration and Broward County local-business tiebreaker provisions.

Activity under this code is sparse and geographically fragmented across Texas, South Dakota, Washington State, Florida, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. Beyond the Broward County opportunity, the recent opportunities do not reflect genuine demand for the specific commodity (headset cushions) that the code nominally describes. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple analog-phone and computer-equipment solicitations (IW259396, IW259396A, IW251688) that appear miscoded. South Dakota's statewide telephone equipment and supplies contract (26IFB19766, due August 3, 2026) and Washington State's Avaya products and services RFQQ (26RFQQ004, due August 6, 2026) similarly diverge from headset cushion procurement. The City of Philadelphia and Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services have posted unrelated solicitations. Until the underlying coding accuracy improves, this code presents minimal reliable signal for business development targeting actual headset-cushion demand at state and local agencies.
