UNSPSC 31381135: Cast off tool isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Cast isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been cast off-tool

UNSPSC 31381135 Cast off tool isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The sole recent opportunity on record—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, due April 9, 2026—solicits physical water infrastructure equipment, not magnets or magnet-adjacent products. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a misalignment between the code's nominal scope and how issuing bodies are classifying their purchases. State and local governments do procure magnets across industrial, research, and equipment-assembly contexts, but this code shows little relevant recent activity in those application areas.

The geographic spread and issuing-body profile are minimal based on available records. The single observable opportunity originates from a Texas municipal jurisdiction (the City of Midland, acting on behalf of Mason County), an IFB vehicle, with an April 9, 2026 response deadline and no stated award value. Without a broader pool of recent opportunities, the code does not support a characterization of active concentration across issuing-body types or states. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should flag the classification discrepancy and monitor for additional activity; the current record does not validate material demand under the code's stated commodity definition.
