UNSPSC 31381345: Pressed and sintered isotropic ferrite magnet assembly

Pressed isotropic ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381345 Pressed and sintered isotropic ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code for discrete magnetic components used in industrial and municipal equipment; however, the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect magnet assembly purchases. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, soliciting 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) under project U25-01, with bids due April 9, 2026. This fire hydrant solicitation appears to be a category misclassification; the hydrants themselves are municipal water infrastructure assets, not pressed ferrite magnet assemblies, and the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal product scope.

The geographic footprint is limited to Texas based on available recent records. Beyond the City of Midland's fire hydrant IFB, no other state or local opportunities under this Commodity code are reported. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement posted suggests either a data-tagging issue in the source system or minimal recent state and local purchasing of ferrite magnet assemblies proper. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify whether opportunities are being correctly tagged or whether activity has shifted to adjacent component or assembly codes.
