UNSPSC 31381400: Plastic bonded magnets and magnet assemblies

Magnets and magnet assemblies that have been plastic bonded

UNSPSC 31381400 Plastic bonded magnets and magnet assemblies is a Class code that encompasses engineered magnetic components and assemblies used in industrial, mechanical, and equipment applications. State and local governments procure these items primarily for maintenance, repair, and construction of facilities and equipment, though recent solicitation activity under this code is limited. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB in October 2026 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, a metal component that may fall within the broader scope of mechanical assemblies but represents a narrow slice of the code's nominal coverage. The issuing-body mix appears dominated by university systems and specialized procurement entities rather than general municipal or county governments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, where the most recent opportunity originated from the Texas A&M University System. Beyond that single recent posting, the source provides no additional state or local solicitation activity to characterize broader geographic spread or repeat buyers. The Texas A&M University System ITB (TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) for stainless steel diaphragm plates closed October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid procurement portal; questions were directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. Absent additional recent opportunities in the block, this code shows minimal current activity at the state and local level, and the single posted opportunity involves a component (stainless steel diaphragm plates) that appears tangential to the code's stated focus on plastic bonded magnets and magnetic assemblies. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local jurisdictions are actually sourcing under 31381400 or whether opportunities posted under this classification represent procurement misclassification.
