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 under which state and local governments procure industrial fastening components and metal assemblies; however, the recent activity tagged to this code shows a significant mismatch — the Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates in October 2026, which are fluid-handling or pressure-control components rather than magnetic materials or sintered magnet assemblies. State and local buyers do source magnetic components, but the recent solicitation record does not reflect representative purchasing patterns under the nominal code scope.

The Texas A&M University System issued ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026, administered through the AggieBid procurement portal. Quantities, pricing, contract duration, and budget were not disclosed in the available notice. Prospective vendors must register and submit bids electronically via AggieBid; all addenda and Q&A activity occur within that system, not on the state's ESBD. The mismatch between the code classification and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or a secondary component specification within a broader assembly contract. Without additional recent solicitations properly tagged to this code, market activity and geographic concentration cannot be reliably characterized from the source.
