UNSPSC 31381431: Plastic bonded coated anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet

Plastic bonded anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381431 Plastic bonded coated anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal documented state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the code does not align with the commodity's nominal scope — the City of Midland, Texas posted an IFB for fire hydrants under this code, a mismatch that suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a use case not reflected in the UNSPSC definition. The fire hydrant solicitation itself is straightforward: the City, acting on behalf of Mason County, sought 71 units (45 four-foot, 20 five-foot, and 6 six-foot hydrants) for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and itemized pricing required from bidders.

The City of Midland IFB closed April 9, 2026, under Solicitation Number 26003721 through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Texas local preference rules applied — a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid could win on economic-development grounds under Section 271.9051. No enterprise set-asides or dollar floor was stated. Given the code shows no other recent state and local opportunities and the single recorded solicitation is fundamentally a fire hydrant procurement, the plastic bonded ferrite magnet code does not represent an active market for its nominal commodity in state and local contracting at this time.
