UNSPSC 31381419: Plastic bonded machined and coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

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

UNSPSC 31381419 Plastic bonded machined and coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code used infrequently in state and local procurement; the recent activity block shows little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. A recent Texas A&M University System ITB solicitation (TAMUSITB270547, due October 28, 2026) tagged under this code requests stainless steel diaphragm plates, a precision metal component unrelated to the magnetic materials the code describes. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a vendor database entry that does not reflect the actual goods being procured. State and local procurement offices appear to apply this code rarely, and when applied, the results do not consistently track the category definition.

Geographic activity under the code is limited to Texas based on the single recent opportunity identified. Without additional solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, no broader regional or multi-state pattern emerges. Procurement professionals should verify the actual commodity specification directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on the UNSPSC code alone when pursuing opportunities in this category, as the classification does not reliably predict scope of work.
