UNSPSC 43191609: Phone headsets

Telephone transmitter and receiver worn on the head to keep the hands free. A combination microphone and earpiece used to conduct conversations.

UNSPSC 43191609 Phone headsets (Commodity) covers the supply of telephone communication headsets and accessories to state and local agencies, though recent activity under this code shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations issued. The seven opportunities posted between May and August 2026 span analog phone systems, prepaid cellphones, computer equipment, and network switches—products and services plainly unrelated to phone headsets. Only one opportunity directly targets the code's scope: Broward County's July 2, 2026 solicitation (GEN2132410B1) for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories serving the Office of Regional Communications and Technology, county 911 PSAPs, and other County agencies under an open-end indefinite-quantity contract with bids due July 17, 2026. This represents the only representative recent activity genuinely within the code's stated product family. State and local buyers issuing under this code include county governments (Broward County), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, South Dakota Office of Procurement Management, Washington State Technology Solutions), and municipalities (City of Philadelphia), though the concentration of misfiled solicitations suggests the code may not be the primary or consistent filing vehicle for headset purchases.

The geographic spread of actual phone-headset activity is limited; Broward County, Florida represents the only clear recent buyer of products matching the code's scope. The broader set of opportunities—dominated by computer equipment, analog phones, and networking gear—reflects tagging errors rather than legitimate demand under UNSPSC 43191609. The Plantronics headset solicitation required authorized reseller status for both Plantronics and JPL; offered SBE and CBE preferential consideration within 10 percent of the lowest bid; and included a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, no guaranteed minimum quantity, and price-increase restrictions capped at CPI or PPI unless Director approval was obtained. Vendors submitted through BPRO with General Liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employers Liability of $100,000 per accident required. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its stated purpose; procurement professionals should treat this code as low-signal for headset opportunities and verify actual scope against individual solicitation details before pursuing.
