UNSPSC 31381208: Sintered machined anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Sintered anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381208 Sintered machined anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that captures specialized engineered magnetic components and related ferrite materials. The recent posting under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal scope — the Texas A&M University System issued an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates, a mechanical component unrelated to ferrite magnets. This mismatch signals that the code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The kinds of jurisdictions that would typically solicit under ferrite magnet codes include state university systems, county and municipal facilities management operations, and transit authorities requiring electromagnetic components for motors, sensors, and equipment control systems, though recent opportunities under this specific code do not bear this out.

The geographic spread of activity under this code is not supported by the source material, as the single available posting involves an unrelated commodity. Texas A&M University System issued the only recent opportunity on record — ITB TAMUSITB270547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a due date of October 28, 2026. All bidding occurs through the AggieBid portal; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit through that system. Questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through AggieBid's Q&A function. No quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, set-asides, or budget information is disclosed in the posting. Given the lack of ferrite-magnet-specific opportunities, this code warrants monitoring rather than immediate pursuit.
