UNSPSC 31381112: Cast machined and coated isotropic ferrite magnet

Cast isotropic ferrite magnet that has been machined and coated

UNSPSC 31381112 Cast machined and coated isotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers fire hydrant procurement, a substantial divergence from the code's nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants (45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units) through competitive bid under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. This represents the primary recent activity tagged to the code. The scope of work involves specification-compliant hydrant supply with F.O.B. delivery to Midland, itemized unit pricing, brand identification, and delivery timeframe proposals. All hydrants must meet attached technical specifications and detail sheets. Bidders must maintain workers' compensation insurance and comply with non-collusion and conflict-of-interest certifications under Texas requirements.

The geographic activity on this code concentrates in Texas, specifically in the West Texas region centered on Midland and Mason County. The Midland IFB posted March 26, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, represents the single identified recent state and local opportunity under this code. The procurement was structured to permit award by item or by total bid to either the lowest responsible bidder or the best-value proposer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions available to bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were specified. The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement overall, suggesting limited current opportunity volume under this particular classification.
