UNSPSC 31381443: Plastic bonded off tool anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Plastic bonded anisotropic samarium magnet that has been plastic bonded off-tool

UNSPSC 31381443 Plastic bonded off tool anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on file—the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, soliciting fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (IFB 26003721, due April 9, 2026)—does not involve magnets or magnet-related components. The solicitation is for 71 fire hydrants of varying heights (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) conforming to attached technical specifications, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland prepaid and included in the bid price. This mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual procurement suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that fire hydrant components (possibly including magnet-based actuators or fastening systems embedded in the assembly) were tagged under this magnet code when the fire hydrant itself would be the primary purchase. The code shows no other recent state and local opportunities.

The geographic concentration in Texas (Midland/Mason County) and the absence of additional recent solicitations across other states or issuing-body types indicate minimal procurement momentum under this code in the state and local market as of mid-2026. The fire hydrant opportunity itself carries no set-aside designations, though local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applies if a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders must submit itemized pricing by unit and extended total, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand/product-number identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Given the sparse activity and the disconnect between the code definition and recent procurement content, this code warrants monitoring for clarification or activity realignment rather than active pursuit at this time.
