UNSPSC 31381424: Plastic bonded coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381424 Plastic bonded coated isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrants (due April 9, 2026)—appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope of magnetic materials. The fire hydrant solicitation calls for standard water-delivery infrastructure products conforming to technical specifications, not barium ferrite magnet components. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the jurisdiction's procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all for miscellaneous equipment. State and local governments tagging opportunities to this code do not appear to be purchasing plastic bonded magnetic materials in any documented recent activity.

The code shows no geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern. The single recent solicitation originated from the City of Midland on behalf of Mason County, Texas, with an IFB process and F.O.B. delivery requirement. The procurement reserved the right to award by item or total bid under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 and offered local preference consideration under Section 271.9051 for bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local price. Workers' compensation insurance and a Non-Collusion Statement were mandatory. No budget or award value was disclosed. Given the absence of relevant recent activity and the apparent category mismatch in the single record, this code does not represent an active market for barium ferrite magnet procurement at the state and local level.
