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 maps to state and local procurement activity centered on specialized magnetic materials and related industrial components. The recent opportunities block shows minimal activity under this code's nominal scope; the single posted solicitation from the Texas A&M University System seeks stainless steel diaphragm plates, a product plainly unrelated to ferrite magnets. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code captures broader industrial components and assemblies than its name indicates. State and local buyers using this code appear to include university systems and their procurement operations, though the sparse record prevents characterizing a broader issuing-body mix.

The recent activity centers in Texas, where the Texas A&M University System posted an ITB (Invitation to Bid) on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates through the AggieBid procurement portal. No quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, set-aside designations, or budget information is disclosed. Prospective vendors must register through AggieBid and submit electronically; addenda and updates post within that system only. Questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through AggieBid's Q&A function. This code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume — the single opportunity on file does not support reliable characterization of geographic spread or issuing-body concentration. The mismatch between the code's name and the product being solicited warrants verification before pursuing this category.
