UNSPSC 31381246: Sinteredisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly

Isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381246 Sintered isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—the City of Midland, Texas procurement for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (IFB, due April 9, 2026)—involves the purchase of standard water-delivery infrastructure components (45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants conforming to attached technical specifications) with no evident connection to sintered isotropic barium ferrite magnet assemblies. The code shows a mismatch between its technical definition and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement.

The Midland opportunity requires F.O.B. delivery to the City with freight prepaid and included in bid price, itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes in calendar days, brand name and product number identification, proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award, and acknowledgment of bid waivers. Bidders may qualify for local preference consideration under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 if their price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid, subject to City Council discretion based on economic development factors including local employment and tax revenue. The City reserves the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. No incumbent vendor, award value, or budget range is identified in the procurement documents. Bids were submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system with questions directed to the City of Midland Office of the Purchasing Agent.
