UNSPSC 31381140: Cast off tool anisotropic ferrite magnet

Cast anisotropic ferrite magnet that has been cast off-tool

UNSPSC 31381140 Cast off tool anisotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—the City of Midland, Texas's March 2026 solicitation for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—is unrelated to the code's nominal scope of ferrite magnets. The solicitation calls for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) conformable to attached technical specifications, with bidders required to submit itemized pricing by unit, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand name and product number for proposed hydrants. Fire hydrants are infrastructure components, not magnetic materials or tools, indicating either a data-tagging error at the source or that this code does not reflect genuine procurement activity in state and local markets.

The code shows activity limited to a single municipality in Texas. The City of Midland's fire hydrant procurement was posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 9, 2026, under an IFB process through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The City applied Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions, allowing award to a local bidder whose price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were specified. Given the absence of additional recent opportunities and the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the single available solicitation, this code does not present actionable state and local procurement activity.
