UNSPSC 31381317: Pressed sintered and machined and coated isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet

Pressed isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet that has been sintered, machined, and coated

UNSPSC 31381317 Pressed sintered and machined and coated isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized metal components and fasteners for equipment maintenance and fabrication. The recent sourcing activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal category description; the single recent opportunity solicited stainless steel diaphragm plates—a flat metal component used in fluid control systems, pressure sensing, and instrumentation—rather than the specialized magnetic alloys the code name implies. State and local solicitations under this code draw from higher-education institutions and their procurement networks, with Texas A&M University System appearing as an active buyer. The scope of work reflects industrial and institutional equipment support rather than high-specification magnetic component manufacturing.

The Texas A&M University System posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a due date of October 28, 2026, using the AggieBid procurement portal exclusively for all vendor registration, submission, addenda, and Q&A activity. The source provides no information on quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award, site visits, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, preferences, or incumbents. Beyond this single Texas-based higher-education procurement, the code shows no recent documented state or local contract activity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (ferrous-aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic alloys) and the actual work being sourced (stainless steel pressure components) suggests either a tagging error in the source or minimal actual procurement volume under the code's intended definition within state and local government markets.
