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 captures specialized material components procured by state and local educational institutions. The recent solicitation activity under this code, however, shows a mismatch with the nominal scope — the Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates, a product unrelated to the ferrite magnet classification. State and local governments use this code irregularly, and the current activity does not reflect purchases of the specified magnet type.

Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUSITB270547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid procurement portal. All addenda, Q&A, and vendor communications occur within the AggieBid system; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit bids through the portal. Questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through AggieBid's Q&A function. The source provides no information on quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, pre-bid conferences, or set-asides. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests either miscoding or use of the code to capture broader material-component purchasing outside the ferrite magnet category. Firms pursuing work in specialized magnets or material components for Texas higher-education procurement should monitor the Texas A&M System directly for future opportunities, as the current coding does not reliably surface relevant activity under this code.
