UNSPSC 31381316: Pressed sintered and machined and coated isotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Pressed isotropic samarium magnet that has been sintered, machined, and coated

UNSPSC 31381316 Pressed sintered and machined and coated isotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity indexed under it does not reflect the code's nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates—a commodity unrelated to samarium cobalt magnets—with bids due October 28, 2026. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement database or a misalignment between how the opportunity was tagged and what is actually being procured. The source provides no additional recent state and local solicitations under this code to establish a pattern of activity or buying behavior.

Without a substantive set of recent opportunities aligned to the code's actual scope, there is insufficient evidence to characterize the issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or current market demand for pressed sintered and machined and coated isotropic samarium cobalt magnets among state and local buyers. The single opportunity present addresses an unrelated commodity, making it unsuitable for business development targeting under this code. Verification of the code's proper scope or a search under alternative commodity codes for magnets or electromagnetics components may be warranted before investment in pursuit strategy.
