UNSPSC 31381228: Sintered coated isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet

Sintered isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381228 Sintered coated isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet is a Commodity code, but recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal alignment with its stated scope. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026 — a commodity that falls outside the ferrous-aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnet classification. State and local procurement offices appear to apply this code inconsistently or the tagging reflects internal taxonomy misalignment rather than actual procurement need for the magnetic material the code nominally describes. The source provides no additional opportunities or issuing bodies soliciting under the code.

The single recent opportunity originated from Texas (Texas A&M University System), submitted through the AggieBid procurement portal with questions directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope — stainless steel diaphragm plates rather than sintered coated ferrous-aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnets — suggests either a data-tagging error or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local demand for the magnetic product it nominally covers. Businesses evaluating pursuit should verify scope alignment with the issuing body before investing in bid preparation.
