UNSPSC 31281910: Magnesium draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281910 Magnesium draw formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure metallic formed parts and subassemblies. The recent activity under this code, however, shows a narrow scope: the Texas A&M University System issued an ITB on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026 — a component category that diverges from the code's nominal magnesium focus and suggests the code may be applied inconsistently across state and local jurisdictions or that the purchasing office is using it for closely related ferrous and non-ferrous formed metal items. Issuing bodies under this code include university systems and their procurement arms; the Texas A&M University System procurement office manages solicitations through its AggieBid electronic procurement portal, which serves as the single channel for vendor registration, bid submission, addenda, and Q&A.

Geographic activity is limited to Texas based on the recent-opportunities record. The stainless steel diaphragm plates ITB (TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) is the only posted opportunity and represents the primary window into current state and local demand under this code. Vendors must register in AggieBid, submit bids electronically by the October 28, 2026 deadline, and monitor the portal for amendments and responses to technical questions; all communications flow through the system, and late submissions are rejected automatically. Detailed specifications, quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, and budget information are not disclosed in the posting. Contact for procurement administration is Sterling Crowdus at soprocurity@tamus.edu or through the AggieBid Q&A function; vendor support is available at vendorhelp@tamu.edu.
