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 with little evidence of active state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for 71 fire hydrants posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 9, 2026—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized magnetic materials. The fire hydrant procurement calls for complete hydrant units (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) conforming to attached technical specifications, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland prepaid and included in bid price. The solicitation type and delivery terms suggest this is a straightforward municipal water infrastructure buy, not a procurement of anisotropic samarium cobalt magnets or related specialty materials.

The mismatch between the code's technical specification and the fire hydrant procurement indicates this Commodity code sees limited or inconsistent application in state and local procurement systems. Absent additional recent opportunities properly aligned with plastic bonded magnetic materials, the code shows no clear market activity suitable for business development purposes in the state and local space. Firms specializing in anisotropic samarium cobalt magnets should monitor for opportunities in state equipment procurement, industrial maintenance contracts, or specialized manufacturing support, but current signals suggest this code is not a near-term focus area.
