UNSPSC 31381221: Sintered machined and coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Sintered anisotropic samarium magnet that has been machined and coated

UNSPSC 31381221 Sintered machined and coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized metal components and precision-engineered materials for equipment and infrastructure applications. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows limited scope alignment with the code's nominal magnet designation — the single posted opportunity involves stainless steel diaphragm plates rather than magnetic materials, indicating either misclassification in the source record or a divergence between the code's stated scope and actual procurement practice. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions and their procurement systems; the Texas A&M University System has posted activity in the recent window.

The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates. All bidding activity occurs exclusively through the AggieBid procurement portal; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit responses via that system. Questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through the Q&A function in AggieBid; vendor registration and technical support inquiries go to vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, pre-bid conferences, or set-aside or preference program eligibility. The system automatically prevents late submissions after the posted close date. Activity under this code is sparse and geographically limited to the source record provided.
