Not sure what it's called but it's the part that the pop-up head inserts into. The internal tabs have broken off and the pop-up will not stay put. I know it's not going to be a simple fix but does anyone have any thoughts or experience to share?

These heads are probably the orignal A&A style from the 80's.
 
In-floor cleaning systems are inefficient and do not exceed a robot cleaning capability. My suggestion for this is to convert the in-floor pop-ups to floor returns and buy yourself a robot.

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps if I planned on staying in this home but that is not the case. Right now, I'm only interested in fixing the existing pop-up 'housing'

Contact A&A (now a Pentair company) as they may have a viable fix.
Not sure if these phone numbers still work since Pentair acquired them - but worth a try.
