UNSPSC 31381451: Plastic bonded anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly

Anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly that has been plastic bonded

UNSPSC 31381451 Plastic bonded anisotropic ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the available record. The single opportunity posted under this code — the City of Midland, Texas's solicitation 26003721 for fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project — represents a request for physical water infrastructure components (71 fire hydrants in varying heights, all conforming to attached technical specifications) rather than ferrite magnet assemblies. Fire hydrants are structural plumbing fixtures with no apparent ferrite magnetic component.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a classification error by the issuing body or a data-record anomaly in the opportunity posting. The City of Midland, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted the fire hydrant IFB on March 26, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing, product literature, delivery timeframes, and brand names for 45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, with F.O.B. delivery prepaid to Midland and Texas local preference provisions in play under Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows no documented recent activity relevant to ferrite magnet component procurement at the state or local level in the available record.
