UNSPSC 31381354: Pressed and sintered anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly

Pressed anisotropic samarium magnet assembly that has been sintered

UNSPSC 31381354 Pressed and sintered anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a fire hydrant procurement by the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County—appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The solicitation calls for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) to conform to attached technical specifications, with itemized pricing, descriptive literature, and delivery timeframes required. The mismatch between the code's focus on rare-earth magnetic assemblies and the actual goods being procured suggests either a cataloging error or a narrow, incidental application of magnetic components within hydrant assemblies that the source does not clarify.

The City of Midland IFB (Solicitation 26003721) closed on April 9, 2026, with bids submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. The procurement includes local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if their price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. The source provides no evidence of concurrent activity under this code in other jurisdictions, and no repeat issuing bodies or geographic concentration can be identified from the record. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should flag the scarcity of recent state and local solicitations and verify product alignment before investing business development effort.
