UNSPSC 31381325: Pressed sintered and coated isotropic strontium ferrite magnet

Pressed isotropic strontium ferrite magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381325 Pressed sintered and coated isotropic strontium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps to fire hydrant procurement rather than to magnetic materials per se. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three size variants (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. State and local governments use this code classification to source fire hydrants and related water infrastructure components that incorporate magnetic components or actuators. Issuing bodies in this space include municipal public works departments and county water authorities managing infrastructure replacement and maintenance programs. Bidders must meet technical specifications, provide itemized pricing with unit costs, specify delivery timeframes, and deliver F.O.B. to the named city with freight prepaid. Workers' compensation insurance and proof of coverage within 21 days of award are mandatory. The City of Midland reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible or best-value bidder under Texas Local Government Code, with local preference provisions allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, where the Midland procurement represented the primary identified opportunity under this code. The City of Midland IFB closed April 9, 2026, with submission through the Bonfire e-procurement system. No incumbent vendor or award value was specified in the procurement documents. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; if your firm pursues fire hydrant or water infrastructure supply, verification that this code tier accurately reflects your product offering and past state-local sales is advisable, as the nominal UNSPSC descriptor and the actual buying pattern diverge significantly.
