UNSPSC 31381330: Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Pressed anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381330 Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity on record — the City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, posted March 26, 2026 with a response deadline of April 9, 2026 — does not align with the code's nominal scope of ferrite magnets. The solicitation sought 71 fire hydrants in three configurations (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) conforming to attached technical specifications, with itemized pricing, delivery timeframes, and brand identification required. Bids were due through the Bonfire e-procurement system no later than 2:00 PM on April 9, 2026.

The code exhibits no clear pattern of state and local issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative activity aligned with ferrite magnet procurement. The mislabeling of the fire hydrant solicitation under this UNSPSC code suggests either a data error in the state or local procurement system or a technical specification error in how the opportunity was tagged. Absent corroborating evidence of actual ferrite magnet procurement by state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or other public bodies, the code does not support a pursue recommendation at this time.
