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 is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure specialized ferrite magnetic components, though recent solicitations show limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System, a state higher-education entity, posted an ITB under this code for stainless steel diaphragm plates—a mechanical component outside the ferrite magnet product family. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or use of the code as a catch-all classification for technical components within the university's procurement system. State and local contracting under this code appears driven primarily by higher-education institutions rather than general-purpose state agencies, counties, or municipalities.

Activity under this code remains sparse in the recent state and local procurement record. The single documented opportunity is the Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, with responses due October 28, 2026; bidding occurs exclusively through the AggieBid portal with questions directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. No quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, anticipated award date, or set-aside information is disclosed. Geographic concentration cannot be reliably characterized from a single opportunity, and the lack of aligned recent solicitations suggests this Commodity code sees limited purchasing volume across state and local jurisdictions.
