UNSPSC 31381351: Pressed and sintered anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly

Pressed anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381351 Pressed and sintered anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code that in practice captures infrastructure replacement components, particularly fire hydrants and related municipal water system equipment sourced by local governments. State and local procurement under this code spans municipal water departments, county public works offices, and city purchasing agencies soliciting standardized hydrant units to replace aging infrastructure. The work involves competitive bidding for off-the-shelf equipment meeting technical specifications and delivery-to-site requirements, with pricing structured around unit costs multiplied by required quantities.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a representative IFB on March 26, 2026 (due April 9, 2026) for 71 fire hydrants across three height variants — 45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units — under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Bidders were required to submit itemized unit pricing, product literature, delivery timeframes, and compliance documentation including proof of workers' compensation insurance and non-collusion statements; the City reserved award discretion under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 and applied local preference provisions allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The recent-opportunities block supports no additional jurisdictions or geographic spread beyond Texas, and the source carries no comparable fire hydrant or magnet assembly solicitations from other states or issuing bodies. This code shows minimal recent state and local activity in the provided source material.
