UNSPSC 31381341: Pressed and sintered off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Pressed anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been sintered off-tool

UNSPSC 31381341 Pressed and sintered off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity relevant to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — a City of Midland, Texas, IFB for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project — is unrelated to ferrite magnets and represents a tagging misalignment rather than authentic procurement demand. Fire hydrants are large-diameter water-delivery infrastructure components, not magnetic materials or components.

The City of Midland IFB, posted March 26, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, sought 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and itemized pricing required through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The procurement applied Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid based on economic development considerations. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information were specified. The code shows no other recent state and local solicitations for ferrite magnets or related magnetic materials; broader industrial demand for pressed and sintered barium ferrite magnets exists in manufacturing and electronics, but state and local procurement activity under this specific Commodity code is not supported by current market signals.
