UNSPSC 31381200: Sintered magnets and magnet assemblies

Magnets and magnet assemblies that have been sintered

UNSPSC 31381200 Sintered magnets and magnet assemblies is a Class code that in recent state and local solicitation activity encompasses fire hydrant procurement, though this represents a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a competitive IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. The solicitation requires unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, brand names and product numbers, F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid, and compliance with Texas Local Government Code provisions including local preference within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, submit a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if applicable, complete an Affidavit of Eligibility for local preference consideration, and provide proof of workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured within 21 days of award.

The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement; the single available opportunity reflects Texas municipal and county procurement with no identified incumbent vendor or stated budget. The Midland solicitation closed April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The mismatch between sintered magnets and magnet assemblies — the code's stated commodity — and fire hydrant procurement suggests that state and local buying under this code does not align with its formal UNSPSC definition, or that recent tagged opportunities do not reflect the code's actual use across state and local jurisdictions.
