UNSPSC 31381132: Cast coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Cast anisotropic samarium magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381132 Cast coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a stark mismatch: the sole solicitation on record is a fire hydrant procurement, which does not involve magnets and falls outside the code's nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB 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. This represents a mistagging in the underlying procurement database rather than legitimate activity under the magnet code.

The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with cast coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnets among state and local public bodies. Firms targeting this Commodity should flag the tagging error with procurement offices directly and monitor future postings for genuine magnet-related solicitations, which do occur in specialized applications (sensors, actuators, industrial equipment) but do not appear in this dataset. The single posted opportunity—the Midland fire hydrant IFB with a response date of April 9, 2026—carries no relevance to magnet procurement and should not be treated as a market signal for this code.
