UNSPSC 31381430: Plastic bonded coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381430 Plastic bonded coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its technical scope. The single recent state and local opportunity posted under this code is the City of Midland, Texas procurement of 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project — a solicitation that has no apparent connection to magnetic materials. The code appears to be a misclassification in the Midland posting; fire hydrants are water infrastructure equipment, not ferrite magnets. State and local procurement databases occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the actual scope of work being purchased.

The geographic activity visible under this code is confined to Texas (Midland, acting on behalf of Mason County) based on the single recent posting. The Midland RFQ closed on April 9, 2026, and required itemized unit pricing, product literature, delivery timeframes, and F.O.B. delivery to the City with freight prepaid. Bidders were subject to Texas local preference provisions (allowing the City Council to award a local bidder within five percent of the lowest price) and mandatory requirements including non-collusion statements, conflict-of-interest questionnaires, workers' compensation insurance, and proof of additional insured status within 21 days of award. No set-aside programs or incumbent vendor information were disclosed. The code shows little relevant recent opportunity activity for ferrite magnet vendors; pursue only if your firm manufactures or distributes magnetic components and can identify additional opportunities outside this posting record.
