UNSPSC 31381339: Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet

Pressed isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381339 Pressed and sintered off tool isotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet (Commodity) covers specialized engineered magnetic components and related metal fabrication, though the recent state and local activity tagged to this code reflects limited direct alignment. The Texas A&M University System, a higher-education institution operating its own procurement system, has posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates — a metal fabrication component that does not directly match the ferrous magnet specification but suggests procurement of precision metal parts within the broader materials and components family. State and local governments issuing under this code tier appear sparse; the available record shows primarily higher-education system activity rather than traditional municipal, county, state-department, or school-district purchasing.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, where the Texas A&M University System operates. The most recent opportunity is ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, posted October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid procurement portal exclusively; all bidders must register electronically in that system, and addenda post only within AggieBid. Prospective vendors should direct questions to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or submit through the portal's Q&A function. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, or budget terms. The code shows limited recent state and local solicitation volume; firms should monitor whether activity concentrates further around higher-education procurement or remains sporadic under this specific commodity designation.
