UNSPSC 52161604: Headphone jack adapters

UNSPSC 52161604 Headphone jack adapters, a Commodity code, covers small connectivity components and adapters for audio equipment that state and local governments procure primarily as incidental items bundled with larger communications and IT equipment purchases rather than as standalone products. Recent solicitations show this code appearing in contracts for headset systems, telephone equipment, and communications infrastructure where adapters serve as accessories or replacement parts—four-wire and six-wire plug adapters, Y adapters for trainers, and similar connectivity components for voice communications devices. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions including counties (Broward County, Florida), state departments (South Dakota Office of Procurement Management, Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, District of Columbia School System), and municipal governments (City of Charlotte, North Carolina). State and local procurement under this code reflects fragmented, low-volume activity; adapters appear as minor line items within larger communications system acquisitions rather than driving procurement decisions independently.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, and North Carolina based on recent posted opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Broward County's open-end indefinite-quantity contract (GEN2132410B1, due July 17, 2026) for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories serving the Office of Regional Communications and Technology and county 911 PSAPs, which explicitly itemized four-wire and six-wire plug adapters and Y adapters within a broader headset procurement; the State of South Dakota's annual contract for telephone equipment and supplies (26IFB19766, due August 3, 2026) serving various state locations; and the District of Columbia's RFQ (DOC819898, due March 23, 2026) for headsets and adapters restricted to DCSS IT Equipment Vendors list participants. The code shows minimal recent standalone activity—adapters consistently appear as subordinate components within equipment maintenance contracts, telephony system procurements, and IT infrastructure buys rather than as primary procurement objects. Business development focus should target bundled opportunities where adapters and connectors form part of larger communications or IT equipment scopes.
