UNSPSC 31381332: Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Pressed anisotropic samarium magnet that has been sintered and coated

UNSPSC 31381332 Pressed sintered and coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers ferrous and nonferrous fastening and structural components, including stainless steel diaphragm plates and related metallurgical products used in mechanical assemblies. State and local higher-education institutions, particularly large university systems, are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. Work being bought includes fabricated metal components specified for engineered applications where material properties—corrosion resistance, magnetic characteristics, or dimensional precision—are critical to end-use performance.

The Texas A&M University System represents the most recent visible activity, posting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026. Bidding occurs exclusively through the AggieBid procurement portal; prospective vendors must register electronically and submit offers via that system, with all addenda and Q&A activity contained within AggieBid rather than on external procurement websites. The solicitation names Sterling Crowdus as the primary contact for substantive questions and directs vendor registration and technical support inquiries to vendorhelp@tamu.edu. Beyond Texas, the recent-opportunities block provides no additional geographic or issuing-body detail, limiting visibility into the code's broader state and local activity across other jurisdictions or institutional buyers.
