UNSPSC 43222818: Telephone distributing terminal frame

A mounting frame which has one or more fanning type terminal boards and is the terminating point for telephone lines.

UNSPSC 43222818 Telephone distributing terminal frame is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify telecommunications infrastructure equipment and related supplies—but recent solicitations under this code show little activity directly aligned with the nominal taxonomy description. The posting record captures headset and accessory procurements, telephone system maintenance contracts, cabling services, and broader IT equipment acquisitions that use the code as a general catch-all for communications hardware and supplies, rather than the specific terminal frame equipment the code name implies. Issuing bodies span county procurement offices, state IT departments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities—Broward County has posted two recent headset and accessory solicitations; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa area) has posted two infrastructure communications maintenance contracts; and Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, and North Carolina state and local agencies have filed additional telecommunications equipment and services requests.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Broward County issued an open-end indefinite-quantity contract (GEN2132410B1, RFQ due July 17, 2026) for Plantronics and JPL headsets, ear cushions, adapters, and wireless devices for 911 Public Safety Answering Points and county agencies; the contract awards on low total-price basis with preferential consideration for county SBEs and CBEs and local-business tiebreaker eligibility under Broward County Code. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted two ITBs (due February 19 and April 8, 2026) for supplemental maintenance and repair of Nortel/Avaya telephone systems and Honeywell security panels across 235 schools, structured as hourly labor rates with material markups capped at fifteen percent, requiring five years' prior experience and certified technicians on staff.
