UNSPSC 31381448: Plastic bonded isotropic neodymium magnet assembly

Isotropic neodymium magnet assembly that has been plastic bonded

UNSPSC 31381448 Plastic bonded isotropic neodymium magnet assembly is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity identified—the City of Midland, Texas solicitation 26003721 for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—is unrelated to plastic bonded neodymium magnets. That solicitation addresses the procurement of 71 fire hydrants (45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units) for delivery to Midland, all conforming to attached technical specifications. The fire hydrant opportunity represents general water-infrastructure supply, not specialty magnetic materials or assemblies. No other recent state and local opportunities under this code appear in the source.

The Midland solicitation, posted March 26, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM, was issued as a competitive invitation for bids through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand and product number information, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. Midland, freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions under Section 271.9051 applied, permitting award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The City reserved discretion to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were noted, though standard mandatory compliance requirements—Non-Collusion Statement, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (if applicable), workers' compensation insurance, and proof of coverage within 21 days of award—applied.
