UNSPSC 43202209: Head stack assemblies

It is used to hold multiple heads to read a stack of platters.

UNSPSC 43202209 Head stack assemblies (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit prepaid cellphones and prepaid cards, analog phones, telephone equipment and supplies, headsets and accessories, and communication systems—none of which align with the narrow scope of hard disk drive head stack assemblies. State and local governments do purchase telecommunications equipment, including phones and headsets, from a mix of issuing bodies spanning cities, state departments, and counties, but the code's technical definition does not map to the actual procurement patterns in the records.

The geographic spread of telecommunications-related opportunities spans Texas (multiple Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for analog phones and related equipment), South Dakota (state-level telephone equipment contract), Washington (statewide Avaya systems contract), Florida (Broward County headsets and accessories), Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia prepaid phones and NetGear equipment), and Mississippi (state-level Avaya and WIC-EBT system acquisitions). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for analog phones (due August 18, 2026), the South Dakota Office of Procurement Management's annual contract for telephone equipment and supplies (due August 3, 2026), Broward County's open-end indefinite-quantity contract for Plantronics and JPL headsets (due July 17, 2026), and Washington State Technology Solutions' RFQQ for Avaya hardware, software, and maintenance services spanning multiple state agencies and five counties (due August 6, 2026). The code itself does not meaningfully reflect current state and local procurement demand, and business development professionals should verify actual commodity categorization before pursuing opportunities listed under this taxonomy entry.
