UNSPSC 31381323: Pressed sintered and coated isotropic ferrite magnet

Pressed isotropic ferrite magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381323 Pressed sintered and coated isotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect the code's nominal scope. The sole recent opportunity in the dataset—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—is plainly a procurement of finished infrastructure equipment (45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants to be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid), not ferrite magnets or magnet components. The misalignment between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited signals either a data classification error or a narrowly scoped sourcing inquiry that does not reflect typical buying patterns under this Commodity code.

The City of Midland IFB closed on April 9, 2026, with bidders required to submit itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand and product identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if their price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No award value, budget range, incumbent vendor, or set-aside designations were disclosed. The code shows no other recent state and local activity, and the ferrite magnet scope itself remains unsupported by posted opportunities.
