UNSPSC 31381324: Pressed sintered and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Pressed isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381324 Pressed sintered and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that covers magnetic materials used in industrial equipment and infrastructure components, though state and local procurement records under this code show minimal recent activity tied directly to ferrite magnets themselves. The single recent opportunity posted shows a mismatch: the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited fire hydrants in March 2026, a commodity unrelated to the ferrite magnet scope. State and local governments do procure magnetic components as subassemblies or materials inputs to larger equipment—pumps, motors, instrumentation—but those purchases typically flow through original equipment manufacturers or integrated-system contracts rather than standalone magnet procurement. The code appears to see little direct buying activity at the state and local level, suggesting that magnet sourcing is consolidated upstream in manufacturing supply chains or handled through state-cooperative purchasing vehicles not reflected in posted solicitations.

Activity under this code remains sparse in recent state and local postings. Texas is the only jurisdiction with a recent notice, though that notice concerns fire hydrants and does not reflect magnet procurement. The absence of multiple relevant opportunities across states and issuing bodies signals low procurement volume at the state and local level for this commodity. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit under this code should focus on indirect channels—original equipment suppliers to state and local agencies buying pumping systems, motors, or specialized instrumentation—rather than direct magnet sales.
