UNSPSC 31381432: Plastic bonded coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Plastic bonded anisotropic samarium magnet that has been coated

UNSPSC 31381432 Plastic bonded coated anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that state and local agencies use to classify purchases of engineered magnetic materials and related precision components. Recent procurement activity under the code, however, shows limited direct alignment with the nominal scope — the one posted opportunity involves stainless steel diaphragm plates rather than samarium cobalt magnets. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for specialized metallic and composite components sourced through higher-education and public procurement channels, with issuing bodies including university systems and their purchasing consortia.

The Texas A&M University System posted the most recent solicitation under this code, an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates (TAMUSITB270547) with a response deadline of October 28, 2026. All bidding occurs through the AggieBid procurement portal; vendors must register electronically and submit bids within that system, with Sterling Crowdus (soprocurement@tamus.edu) as the point of contact and vendor support available at vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The source provides no detail on quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award date, or set-asides. Limited recent-opportunity activity and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggest this Commodity code sees sparse state and local use; firms evaluating this code should monitor for magnetic-component and precision-metallic-component solicitations from higher-education procurement offices and state purchasing cooperatives, particularly in Texas.
