UNSPSC 31381337: Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic neodymium magnet

Pressed isotropic neodymium magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381337 Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic neodymium magnet is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no activity aligned with its nominal scope. The one recent opportunity tagged to this code—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (due April 9, 2026)—involves procurement of complete hydrant assemblies, not magnet components. The solicitation calls for 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants conforming to attached technical specifications, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and itemized pricing by unit. This represents water-infrastructure commodity procurement, not the engineered magnet inputs that the code's title suggests. Without corroborating opportunities in the recent record, the code shows little relevant state and local activity.

The City of Midland acting on behalf of Mason County, Texas is the issuing body on record. Bidders must submit through the Bonfire e-procurement system by 2:00 PM on April 9, 2026, with evaluation under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 allowing award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible or best-value bidder. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions apply, permitting the City Council to award to a local bidder if the bid falls within five percent of the lowest non-local price. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. All bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide workers' compensation insurance proof within 21 days of award, and comply with mandatory bid waivers related to attorney's fees and breach notice requirements.
