UNSPSC 43191612: Phone rests

A phone accessory designed to provide a place to rest a phone on a person's shoulder while talking.

UNSPSC 43191612 Phone rests is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying headsets, headset adapters, and related telephone accessories—monaural and binaural units with noise-canceling capabilities, over-ear and convertible configurations, replacement ear cushions, Y adapters, mute switches, plug adapters, and push-to-talk wireless devices. The buying base spans county government, state departments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. County governments like Broward County and school districts including Hillsborough County Public Schools and the District of Columbia School System are active buyers. While the code's nominal scope suggests generic phone rests, recent opportunities show procurement focused on communications-equipment accessories supporting 911 Public Safety Answering Points, office regional communications technology, and IT infrastructure upgrades across multiple agencies and facilities.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and South, with Broward County, Florida issuing an open-end indefinite-quantity contract (RFQ GEN2132410B1, due July 17, 2026) for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories serving emergency dispatch and county agencies, the District of Columbia School System posting a blanket purchase agreement for headsets and adapters restricted to pre-qualified IT equipment vendors (RFQ FY26-OUC-RFQ-BPA, due March 23, 2026), and the State of South Dakota soliciting telephone equipment and supplies annually through its Office of Procurement Management (ITB 26IFB19766, due August 3, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools has twice issued maintenance and repair bids for Nortel/Avaya telephone systems—once in March 2026 and again in April 2026—indicating recurring infrastructure support demand across its 235 schools. The code shows moderate fragmentation across issuing bodies with no dominant single buyer, and geographic spread reflects activity in Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia.
