UNSPSC 31381213: Sintered machined and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Sintered isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been machined and coated

UNSPSC 31381213 Sintered machined and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that covers specialized magnetic materials used in industrial and research applications. Recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the nominal scope; the single recent opportunity posted involves stainless steel diaphragm plates, a mechanical component unrelated to the ferrite magnet designation. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB for these diaphragm plates, suggesting that state higher-education procurement offices may occasionally tag structural or mechanical components under this code, though the tagging may reflect procurement-system classification practices rather than true ferrite magnet sourcing.

The Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates closed October 28, 2026, with bidding conducted exclusively through the AggieBid procurement portal. Vendors must register electronically and submit bids through AggieBid; all addenda and Q&A activity occur within that system. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award timing, or any set-aside or preference program. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the single recent opportunity available, this code shows little demonstrated activity in state and local ferrite magnet procurement; vendors pursuing ferrite magnet or specialized magnetic-material opportunities should monitor actively but validate code applicability at the notice stage, as issuing bodies may misclassify mechanical components under magnetic-materials codes.
