UNSPSC 31381402: Plastic bonded machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381402 Plastic bonded machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that captures specialized engineered materials used in technical and industrial applications by state and local entities. The code's scope encompasses ferrite magnets produced through plastic bonding and machining processes, though recent procurement activity under this code shows limited alignment with the nominal product category — the most recent state and local solicitation tagged to this code actually seeks stainless steel diaphragm plates, a mismatched commodity. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include higher-education procurement offices, which draw on centralized purchasing systems for technical component sourcing.

Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 on October 12, 2026, requesting bids on stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid electronic procurement portal. The mismatch between the nominal code scope (ferrite magnets) and the actual solicitation (diaphragm plates) signals either a data-entry error in the tagging or a secondary use case that does not reflect typical activity under this commodity designation. Prospective vendors must register in AggieBid and submit responses electronically; the system enforces deadline closure and provides no late-submission grace period. Contacts for procurement questions and vendor-system support are available through the Q&A function in AggieBid and vendorhelp@tamu.edu respectively.
