UNSPSC 31381146: Castisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly

Isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly that has been cast

UNSPSC 31381146 Castisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a March 2026 solicitation by the City of Midland, Texas—concerns the procurement of fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project) and contains no reference to magnet assemblies or ferrite components. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the procurement system or that the code is not actively used for its intended commodity category in state and local contracting.

The Midland procurement was posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing with unit prices and extended totals, provide descriptive literature, specify delivery timeframes, and identify brand names and product numbers. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value proposer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, and local preference provisions applied whereby local bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid could receive consideration. No enterprise set-asides were specified. Without additional opportunities in the source aligned to the code's actual commodity definition, no pattern of issuing bodies or geographic concentration can be established for magnet-assembly procurement under this UNSPSC category.
