UNSPSC 31381329: Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic ferrite magnet

Pressed anisotropic ferrite magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381329 Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic ferrite magnet is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect ferrite magnets at all. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—a misclassification that signals this code shows little relevant recent activity for magnet procurement at the state and local level. The posted opportunity requires F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid and included in bid price, itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement portal.

The Midland opportunity (response due April 9, 2026) is the only recent state and local solicitation in the source block. No other jurisdictions, states, or repeat issuing bodies appear in the record. Texas is represented by this single fire-hydrant procurement, which falls outside the nominal scope of the code. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, submit Conflict of Interest Questionnaires if applicable, provide workers' compensation insurance proof within 21 days of award, and name the City as additional insured. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applies local preference if a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The City reserves the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the best-value bidder. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified, and no incumbent vendor, award value, or budget range is identified in the procurement documents.
