UNSPSC 31381241: Sintered off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Sintered anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381241 Sintered off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code under which state and local buyers source specialized magnetic materials and metal components. The recent opportunity posted under this code, however, does not align with the nominal code scope — the Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, posted October 12, 2026, solicits stainless steel diaphragm plates, which fall outside ferrite magnet specification. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement system or that the code is being used as a placeholder for related materials procurement within higher-education procurement systems. State and local jurisdictions do post under this code, but the single recent record does not reveal a pattern of activity across other issuing bodies such as state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities.

The geographic activity visible in the recent-opportunities record is limited to Texas, represented by the Texas A&M University System. With only one relevant posting available and that posting showing a scope mismatch, the code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. Prospective vendors should note that the Texas A&M University System uses the AggieBid portal exclusively for vendor registration, bid submission, addenda, and Q&A, requiring all bidding activity to occur through that system rather than traditional state procurement channels. Inquiries on this ITB should be directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu, with vendor registration questions going to vendorhelp@tamu.edu; the response deadline is October 28, 2026.
