UNSPSC 31381247: Sinteredisotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly

Isotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381247 Sintered isotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly (Commodity) covers magnetic components used in specialized industrial and municipal equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the commodity's nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a competitive IFB in March 2026 for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—a procurement that does not involve magnet assemblies and appears to be miscoded at the UNSPSC level. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this Commodity code remain uncharacterized beyond this single outlier opportunity, which suggests the code sees little substantive recent activity in the state and local procurement market.

The Midland IFB, posted March 26, 2026, with responses due April 9, 2026, solicited 71 fire hydrants comprising 45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units, with delivery F.O.B. to the City of Midland and freight prepaid. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing by unit, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand and product identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local-preference provisions applied, permitting the City Council to award to a local bidder if within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price. The procurement did not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, an incumbent vendor, or an award value. This opportunity's presence under the magnet assembly code suggests possible miscoding; the code itself reports no other recent state and local activity.
