UNSPSC 31381103: Cast machined isotropic strontium ferrite magnet

Cast isotropic strontium ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381103 Cast machined isotropic strontium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—the City of Midland, Texas fire hydrant procurement—involves sourcing complete fire hydrants as finished infrastructure products, not magnetic components or materials. The scope mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or that the code is rarely used in state and local purchasing for its nominal product class.

The City of Midland's March 2026 IFB for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) with an April 9, 2026 response deadline through Bonfire e-procurement is the only recent solicitation on record. The procurement applies Texas local preference rules (five-percent price threshold) and requires bidders to submit itemized pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand and product-number details, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. Midland. No incumbent is named, no award value is disclosed, and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. Without additional recent opportunities under this code, the data do not support a characterization of active state and local demand for cast machined isotropic strontium ferrite magnets themselves—a signal that the code may see limited or inaccurate use in the state and local marketplace.
