UNSPSC 43191638: Headset with microphone

A headset combines a headphone with microphone.

UNSPSC 43191638 Headset with microphone is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of communication headsets—both standalone units and integrated systems with adapters, typically for law enforcement, emergency response, and administrative operations. Recent solicitations show Gwinnett County, Georgia repeatedly issuing informal written quotations (IWQ) for tactical communication equipment: in June 2026, the Sheriff's Office solicited 25 units of 3M PELTOR ComTac V headsets and NATO wired adapters (IWQ 130037, due June 18, 2026); in the same month, the Police Department sought ten OPS Core AMP communication headsets with earplugs for range staff (IWQ 131035, due June 18, 2026); and in July 2026, the Sheriff's Office again requested twelve 3M PELTOR ComTac VIII headsets with 3M PELTOR NATO adapters (IWQ 135129, due July 31, 2026). These repeat Gwinnett procurements suggest standardization on specific tactical brands and models, with vendors often asked to provide sample equivalents within seven business days at their own expense. The City of Philadelphia also solicited electronic signature pads in May 2026 (RFQ B2627117, due May 18, 2026), though that opportunity sits at the intersection of signature capture and input device categories and may reflect code tagging variance.

Gwinnett County dominates the recent activity, with three separate headset-and-adapter solicitations within four months; all are informal quotations (IWQ/informal written RFQ) with three-to-five-day response windows and F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Sheriff's Office or Police Department in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Philadelphia opportunity represents the only non-Gwinnett buyer, and the remaining opportunities in the block (Broward County risk-management systems, California scanner and storage hardware, Orange County construction security controls) show minimal headset-relevant content despite UNSPSC tagging. Gwinnett's pattern—small-quantity tactical communication equipment for law enforcement with rapid-turnaround IWQ procurement—defines the active market under this code. Pricing in the Gwinnett quotes is submitted on unit-and-total basis with delivery included, and vendors compete on lowest responsive and responsible bid with demonstrated references and equivalency certification of non-standard models.
