UNSPSC 52161604: Headphone jack adapters

UNSPSC 52161604 Headphone jack adapters, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span telephone equipment, analog phones, prepaid cellphones, computer systems, and telecommunications infrastructure—products and services substantially unrelated to headphone jack adapters. Of the ten recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, only one—Broward County's July 2026 bid for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories (Solicitation GEN2132410B1, due July 17, 2026)—involves headset-related components; that solicitation includes Y adapters and plug adapters for headsets but does not isolate demand for standalone headphone jack adapters. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that headphone jack adapters are sourced as incidental components within larger telecommunications or IT equipment procurements rather than as standalone line items.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, South Dakota Office of Procurement Management, Washington State Technology Solutions), counties (Broward County), and cities (Philadelphia). Recent activity clusters in Texas, South Dakota, Washington, Mississippi, and Florida, with solicitations spanning July through August 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's August 2026 analog phone procurements (Solicitations IW259396 and IW259396A, due August 13 and August 18, 2026) and South Dakota's July 2026 annual contract for telephone equipment and supplies (Solicitation 26IFB19766, due August 3, 2026). The code does not show meaningful recent purchasing of headphone jack adapters as a distinct commodity; vendors evaluating this code should verify issuing-body categorization before pursuing market opportunities.
