UNSPSC 31381108: Cast machined anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Cast anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381108 Cast machined anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that captures specialized magnetic components and precision-machined metal parts used across state and local operations. Recent procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope — a posted solicitation from Texas A&M University System requests stainless steel diaphragm plates, a precision metal fabrication item that sits outside ferrite magnet specifications entirely. The code appears to reflect state and local procurement offices' inconsistent tagging practices rather than a coherent commodity family in active use. Issuing bodies posting under this code span university systems and their procurement operations, though the source provides only a single recent opportunity.

The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 on October 12, 2026 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, with bids due October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid procurement portal. Prospective vendors must register electronically via AggieBid; all addenda and Q&A activity route through that system. Sterling Crowdus (soprocurement@tamus.edu) handles procurement questions; vendor registration and technical support inquiries route to vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The system enforces automatic late-submission prevention at close. No quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, or budget information appears in the available solicitation materials. Geographic activity is limited to Texas based on the single recent posting; broader state and local activity under this code is not evident from recent opportunities.
