UNSPSC 31381124: Cast coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Cast isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381124 Cast coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited under it. The most recent opportunity tagged to this code is the City of Midland, Texas (acting on behalf of Mason County) issuing an IFB for 71 fire hydrants — 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants — under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Fire hydrant procurement is fundamentally a water infrastructure commodity unrelated to cast coated barium ferrite magnets. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the posting or that this code does not currently reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity in its intended product category.

The Midland procurement closed on April 9, 2026, with bidders required to submit itemized unit pricing, delivery timelines, and descriptive literature through the Bonfire e-procurement system. All hydrants required F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if their price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were designated. The source contains no additional recent opportunities under this code, no incumbent vendor information, and no award value or budget detail.
