UNSPSC 31381216: Sintered machined and coated isotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Sintered isotropic samarium magnet that has been machined and coated

UNSPSC 31381216 Sintered machined and coated isotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a Texas A&M University System ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026—does not represent procurement of samarium cobalt magnets and suggests the code may be misapplied to this solicitation or that state and local buyers have not recently sourced magnets matching the code's product definition through open notice channels.

Texas A&M University System issued the sole identified recent opportunity, an Invitation to Bid (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) for stainless steel diaphragm plates closing October 28, 2026. All bidding occurs through the AggieBid procurement portal; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit bids there, with addenda and updates posted within that system. Questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through AggieBid's Q&A function, and vendor registration support goes to vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, set-asides, preferences, or budget details. The mismatch between the code's magnet specification and the actual commodity being solicited signals that either the code is overtagged in this jurisdiction's system or the samarium cobalt magnet code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
