UNSPSC 31381240: Sintered off tool anisotropic ferrite magnet

Sintered anisotropic ferrite magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381240 Sintered off tool anisotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in practice captures little state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal product description. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—the City of Midland, Texas procurement for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—does not involve sintered ferrite magnets. The solicitation calls for 71 fire hydrants in three heights (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) conforming to attached technical specifications, with itemized unit pricing, delivery to Midland F.O.B. prepaid freight, and compliance with Texas Local Government Code provisions on local preference and best-value evaluation. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the fire-hydrant work actually being bought suggests either a data-entry error or that the code does not reflect active state and local demand for sintered ferrite magnets.

The City of Midland issued this IFB with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas vendors may claim local preference if their bid falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No incumbent vendor is named, no award ceiling is stated, and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. The code shows no other recent state and local opportunities in the source dataset; activity under this Commodity code is not currently evident in state and local procurement.
