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) covers replacement ear cushions, foam and leather configurations, and integrated headset accessories that state and local governments procure for call centers, emergency-response operations, and general-purpose office communications. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both standalone cushion replacement items and bundled headset-and-accessory packages where cushions are specified line items or components of larger equipment contracts. Broward County, Florida, and the District of Columbia exemplify the mix of issuing bodies: county procurement offices and school-system IT departments are the primary customers. The scope extends beyond ear cushions alone to include complete headset systems (monaural and binaural, over-ear and convertible), Y adapters for trainers, mute switches, four-wire and six-wire plug adapters, and wireless push-to-talk devices with batteries—a broader product range than the code name suggests. This reflects how state and local procurement offices tag headset-and-accessory buys at the commodity level even when the solicitation encompasses full system replacement rather than cushion-only replenishment.

Activity concentrates in Florida and the District of Columbia, with isolated recent solicitations from Texas and South Dakota. Broward County issued IFB GEN2132410B1 (due July 17, 2026) for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories under an open-end indefinite-quantity contract serving the Office of Regional Communications and Technology and county 911 PSAPs, requiring authorized-reseller status and offering preferential consideration for certified Small Business Enterprises and County Business Enterprises within 10 percent of the lowest responsive, responsible bid. The District of Columbia School System posted RFQ FY26-OUC-RFQ-BPA (due March 23, 2026) for headsets and adapters through a blanket purchase agreement restricted to vendors on the DCSS IT Equipment Vendors list. Broward County permits local-business tiebreaker preferences under County Code Section 1-74 et seq. for vendors with a Location Certification form and proof of a Broward County business tax receipt; no guaranteed minimums apply, price increases are capped during the initial contract term, and vendors must notify the County within 30 days of any supplier-issued price decreases. Responses to the Broward solicitation were due electronically through BPRO and required General Liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employers Liability of $100,000 per accident, with Broward County named as additional insured.
