UNSPSC 31381352: Pressed and sintered anisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly

Pressed anisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381352 Pressed and sintered anisotropic barium ferrite magnet assembly, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunity posted under this code is the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, soliciting competitive bids for fire hydrants — 71 units in three sizes (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot models) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, an IFB with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. This procurement is unrelated to the code's stated scope of magnet assemblies and instead represents infrastructure equipment for water utility systems. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state or local procurement system or a narrow, incidental use of magnetic components within the fire hydrant assembly that does not dominate the contract's primary scope.

No other recent state and local opportunities appear in the dataset under this code. The absence of activity aligned with the code's nominal scope, combined with the fire hydrant solicitation's clear divergence from magnet assembly procurement, signals that the code captures little or no meaningful buying activity among state and local jurisdictions. Firms pursuing magnet assembly contracts with state and local government should verify their target opportunities against the code's actual technical scope before developing pursuit strategies, as the posted records do not support an active market under this Commodity designation.
