UNSPSC 31381346: Pressed and sintered isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly

Pressed isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381346 Pressed and sintered isotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — the City of Midland, Texas acting on behalf of Mason County's procurement of fire hydrants for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project — is unrelated to magnet assemblies and represents a miscoding in the state and local procurement database rather than genuine activity in the magnet component category. Fire hydrants are water infrastructure components that do not incorporate pressed and sintered ferrite magnet assemblies as a primary or specified element.

The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the sole recent opportunity indicates that this Commodity code does not currently support a reliable pipeline for magnet assembly vendors pursuing state and local contracts. Firms should verify whether individual state purchasing offices or transit authorities use this code for motor or sensor components that incorporate ferrite magnets before dedicating resources to pursuit, as the available record does not substantiate current demand in this category at the state and local level.
