UNSPSC 31381344: Pressed and sintered off tool anisotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet

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

UNSPSC 31381344 Pressed and sintered off tool anisotropic ferrous aluminum nickel cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that covers specialized magnetic materials, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates — a metalworking component unrelated to the ferrous-aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnet specification — suggesting either a tagging error in the procurement system or that this code does not reflect the actual composition and application of materials currently being solicited by state and local buyers. State and local procurement offices rarely issue solicitations for precision engineered magnets at the commodity level; when magnetic materials appear in state and local contracting, they typically surface within broader equipment or component categories rather than as standalone specifications.

The available record does not support characterization of geographic spread or issuing-body patterns across multiple opportunities. The single recent solicitation comes from Texas A&M University System (an educational institution within a state university network) via ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, with responses due October 28, 2026. Vendors must register and submit bids through the AggieBid portal; questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through the Q&A function within AggieBid. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, duration, or set-aside information. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the stainless steel diaphragm plate solicitation posted under it, this code does not show relevant recent activity for firms pursuing ferrous-magnet or precision-magnetic-material contracts with state and local buyers.
