UNSPSC 31381123: Cast coated isotropic ferrite magnet

Cast isotropic ferrite magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381123 Cast coated isotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity captures ferrite components and related products used in equipment and infrastructure systems, though the available solicitation shows minimal direct connection to the code's nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, represents the primary recent issuing body under this code, soliciting through competitive bid (IFB) notices. State and local governments appear to use this code narrowly or inconsistently; the single recent opportunity does not reference ferrite magnets directly but rather fire hydrants, suggesting either a cataloging mismatch or very limited current activity aligned with the code's stated product definition.

The available geographic data is limited to Texas, specifically the City of Midland and Mason County. A single representative opportunity, Solicitation 26003721 posted March 26, 2026, called for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026, through Bonfire e-procurement. Bidders were required to submit itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes, and brand identification, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland prepaid in the bid price. The procurement applied Texas local preference provisions (5% cost threshold for local vendors) but specified no set-aside designations. The code shows little recent relevant activity and does not align clearly with the fire hydrant scope of the single posted opportunity; procurement professionals should verify whether this code accurately maps to current state and local demand for cast coated isotropic ferrite magnets or if activity under this category remains dormant.
