UNSPSC 31381338: Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Pressed isotropic samarium magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381338 Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is the City of Midland, Texas procurement of 71 fire hydrants for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (IFB, due April 9, 2026), which does not align with the code's stated scope of specialized permanent magnets. The fire hydrant solicitation calls for complete hydrant assemblies meeting technical specifications, not samarium cobalt magnets themselves. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to the opportunity or that state and local purchasing offices are not currently sourcing pressed and sintered samarium cobalt magnets as discrete procurement items.

The geographic data supporting this code is limited to a single jurisdiction — Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County. Without additional recent opportunities in the source material, no meaningful pattern of activity across states or issuing-body types can be established. The absence of competing opportunities for actual magnet procurement, coupled with the mismatch between the code's technical scope and the fire hydrant solicitation, indicates this Commodity code currently shows little relevant activity in the state and local market. Firms pursuing magnet-related supply should monitor whether future opportunities correctly tag this code or whether state and local procurement offices shift toward direct magnet sourcing under related material or component codes.
