UNSPSC 31381413: Plastic bonded machined and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been machined and coated

UNSPSC 31381413 Plastic bonded machined and coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized engineered magnetic materials and precision-machined components used in industrial applications. State and local governments procure these materials primarily through higher-education institutions and research facilities that require them for laboratory equipment, instrumentation, and specialized machinery. The code covers ferrite magnets processed and finished to precise specifications, typically bonded with polymeric materials and coated for corrosion resistance or performance enhancement. Issuing bodies include state university systems and their component institutions, which solicit these materials through competitive bidding processes when they support research, facility maintenance, or equipment fabrication needs.

The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB (TAMUSITB270547) on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026, submitted through the AggieBid procurement portal. While the solicitation title references stainless steel components rather than ferrite magnets, suggesting a potential code-classification mismatch, the Texas A&M System remains the primary recent issuing body on record under this Commodity code. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas based on the available posting. Prospective vendors must register with AggieBid and submit responses electronically; questions and addenda are managed through that portal, with vendor registration and technical support directed to vendorhelp@tamu.edu.
