UNSPSC 31381211: Sintered machined anisotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet

Sintered anisotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381211 Sintered machined anisotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet (Commodity) covers specialized ferromagnetic materials and components; however, recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows limited relevance to the nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026 — a product outside the stated magnetic-material specification. State and local procurement under this code appears sparse and misaligned with the UNSPSC descriptor, suggesting either infrequent tagging of magnetic-component opportunities under this particular code or procurement offices using the taxonomy inconsistently for metal fabrication and industrial components.

The single recent opportunity surfaces from higher education in Texas. Prospective vendors must register and submit bids electronically through the AggieBid procurement portal; the system enforces a hard close on the October 28 deadline and does not permit late submissions. Questions and addenda post within AggieBid, not on the ESBD; vendors should direct inquiries to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or use the Q&A function in the system. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, set-aside status, or budget information.
