UNSPSC 31381207: Sintered machined anisotropic ferrite magnet

Sintered anisotropic ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381207 Sintered machined anisotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity posted under this code—the City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrants issued March 26, 2026 with a response deadline of April 9, 2026—does not align with the code's nominal scope. The solicitation calls for complete fire hydrants (71 units across three heights: 45 four-foot, 20 five-foot, and 6 six-foot units) conforming to attached technical specifications, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit costs, delivery timeframes in calendar days, brand names, and product numbers through the Bonfire e-procurement system. While ferrite magnets may be a component within fire hydrant assemblies, the solicitation itself is not purchasing magnets as a standalone product or service line; it is procuring finished hydrant equipment.

The geographic spread is limited to Texas, with the City of Midland acting on behalf of Mason County. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions apply, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder whose price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. The procurement documents do not name an incumbent vendor or specify an award value. The code does not show a pattern of recent state and local demand for sintered machined anisotropic ferrite magnets as a procurable commodity line.
