UNSPSC 31381201: Sintered machined isotropic ferrite magnet

Sintered isotropic ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381201 Sintered machined isotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers fire hydrants and related water infrastructure equipment rather than the abstract magnet classification. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three sizes (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, signaling that municipalities use this code to procure complete hydrant systems including their component parts. State and local issuing bodies using this code span municipal water and public works departments. The work involves procurement of manufactured hydrant assemblies conforming to technical specifications, with bidders required to provide unit pricing, product literature, delivery timelines, and brand identification. Delivery is F.O.B. to the municipal site with freight prepaid and included in the bid price.

The City of Midland, Texas IFB closed on April 9, 2026, and represents the primary recent activity visible under this code. Texas is the identified jurisdiction with current procurement activity. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value offer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions applying under Section 271.9051 (within-five-percent local bidder consideration). Mandatory bidder requirements included non-collusion statements, conflict-of-interest questionnaires where applicable, affidavits of eligibility for local preference claimants, and workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured. The procurement documents did not specify an incumbent vendor, award value, or budget range.
