UNSPSC 43191609 Phone headsets is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of communication headsets, adapters, and related accessories by state and local agencies for use in administrative, emergency services, and operations environments. State and local buyers source monaural and binaural headsets with noise-canceling capabilities, over-ear and convertible configurations, replacement ear cushions, wireless devices, mute switches, and various adapter types (Y adapters, four-wire and six-wire plug adapters, push-to-talk devices with batteries) from authorized resellers. Procuring bodies include county emergency services (Public Safety Answering Points and Regional Communications offices), school district IT departments, state departments of criminal justice and information technology, and municipal communications infrastructure programs. The mix reflects both routine supply replenishment through small-buy RFQs and larger indefinite-quantity contracts serving multiple departments or agencies within a single jurisdiction.

Recent activity spans Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Broward County issued an open-end indefinite-quantity IFB on July 2, 2026, for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories to support its Office of Regional Communications and Technology and 911 PSAPs, with bids due July 17, 2026, and preferences for local SBEs and CBEs within ten percent of the low bid; the District of Columbia School System posted an RFQ for headsets and adapters on March 18, 2026, restricted to pre-qualified DCSS IT equipment vendors, with a March 23, 2026 deadline. South Dakota's Office of Procurement Management solicited annual telephone equipment and supplies on July 1, 2026, with proposals due August 3, 2026, for delivery to various state locations. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued multiple ITBs for communications infrastructure maintenance and repair services that include telephone equipment components (ITBs posted March 23 and April 13, 2026). The code shows consistent activity across small-dollar routine buys and larger framework agreements; set-asides and local-vendor preferences appear where issuing bodies have established SBE/CBE or local-business policies, particularly in Florida and Texas jurisdictions.
