UNSPSC 31381302: Pressed sintered and machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Pressed isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been sintered and machined

UNSPSC 31381302 Pressed sintered and machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under this code shows little relevant procurement aligned with the nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under 31381302—Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, due October 28, 2026—solicits stainless steel diaphragm plates, a product outside the ferrite magnet specification. This mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or a small volume of barium ferrite procurement that does not yet surface in state and local opportunity databases. State and local buyers (school districts, university systems, transit authorities, county facilities departments) that do purchase pressed ferrite magnets typically acquire them for specialized equipment repair, motor replacement, or sensing applications in maintenance and operations, but recent posting activity under this specific code does not substantiate active demand.

The geographic and issuing-body data supporting this code are minimal. The single opportunity appears under a higher-education system (Texas A&M University System) posting through its proprietary AggieBid procurement portal rather than traditional state-level cooperative vehicles. Without a body of recent opportunities, no meaningful geographic concentration or issuing-body pattern emerges. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as a watch, not an immediate pursuit—monitor for future postings from university systems, county facilities, or transit authorities in Texas and surrounding regions, but do not expect steady volume until activity increases materially above the current single misaligned posting.
