UNSPSC 31381252: Sinteredanisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly

Anisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381252 Sintered anisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code that captures specialized magnetic components used in industrial and infrastructure applications. Based on recent state and local procurement activity, the code encompasses engineered ferrite magnet assemblies integrated into larger equipment systems where precise magnetic properties and durability are required. State and local governments solicit this code primarily through direct-purchase and replacement contracts issued by municipal utilities, water authorities, and public works departments that maintain infrastructure systems incorporating these components.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued IFB 26003721 on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (due April 9, 2026), a procurement that demonstrates application of ferrite magnet assemblies in water utility equipment. The solicitation specified itemized pricing for three hydrant sizes—45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants—with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible or best-value bidder under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, and local preference applied if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Recent activity under this code remains sparse; the single posted opportunity reflects municipal water infrastructure replacement demand in Texas, with no evidence of solicitation volume or geographic spread across multiple states or jurisdictions at this time.
