UNSPSC 31381409: Plastic bonded machined anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet that has been machined

UNSPSC 31381409 Plastic bonded machined anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that carries little relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — a City of Midland, Texas IFB for 71 fire hydrants posted March 26, 2026, with a response date of April 9, 2026 — involves the procurement of complete fire hydrant assemblies conforming to attached technical specifications, not magnetic components or materials. The fire hydrant solicitation specifies quantities by height (45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) with delivery F.O.B. to Midland, prepaid freight included, and evaluation under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions allowing City Council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — ferrite magnet materials — and the fire hydrant assemblies actually being procured suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this Commodity code sees minimal legitimate activity in the state and local market. No additional recent opportunities under this code are present in the source material. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether the ferrite magnet classification reflects actual component sourcing for fire hydrant manufacture or represents a data-quality issue in the underlying procurement system.
