UNSPSC 31381445: Plastic bonded isotropic ferrite magnet assembly

Isotropic ferrite magnet assembly that has been plastic bonded

UNSPSC 31381445 Plastic bonded isotropic ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recorded opportunity under this code is the City of Midland, Texas's procurement of fire hydrants for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—a mismatch with the code's nominal scope of ferrite magnet components. The fire hydrant solicitation does not involve plastic bonded magnets; the code classification appears to be a data entry or categorization error rather than a reflection of work actually being procured under this Commodity.

The City of Midland issued the fire hydrant IFB (Solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. The requirement covered 71 units across three heights (45 four-foot, 20 five-foot, and 6 six-foot hydrants) with F.O.B. delivery to Midland, Texas and conformance to attached technical specifications. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions apply, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. Absent additional recent opportunities under this code, the Commodity shows no meaningful activity in state and local procurement markets and does not warrant active pursuit.
