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, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the nominal scope—the single recent solicitation identified concerns stainless steel diaphragm plates, a commodity unrelated to rare-earth magnets. State and local agencies and higher-education institutions would typically source samarium cobalt magnets for specialized equipment, instrumentation, motors, and aerospace or defense applications where high-temperature performance and magnetic stability are required, but current procurement records do not support active buying in this category.

The Texas A&M University System issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) for stainless steel diaphragm plates with responses due October 28, 2026, posted through the AggieBid procurement portal. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code descriptor and the actual commodity being solicited—stainless steel components rather than magnetic materials—suggests either a tagging error in the procurement records or a code misapplication by the issuing body. No recent opportunities targeting cast coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnets or similar rare-earth magnetic materials were identified in the available state and local solicitation data. The code shows minimal current activity relevant to business development planning.
