UNSPSC 31381454: Plastic bonded anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly

Anisotropic samarium magnet assembly that has been plastic bonded

UNSPSC 31381454 Plastic bonded anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly is a Commodity code that state and local governments tag to procurements without clear connection to its nominal scope. The recent opportunity block contains a single posting — a competitive IFB from the City of Midland, Texas, on behalf of Mason County, for 71 fire hydrants in various heights — which bears no relationship to magnet assemblies. Fire hydrants are passive water-delivery infrastructure and do not incorporate the magnetic materials or assemblies this code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source database or an overly broad code assignment by the issuing body.

The City of Midland IFB, posted March 26, 2026, with a bid due date of April 9, 2026, solicited 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, all requiring conformance to attached technical specifications and delivery F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing by unit and extended total, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand and product information through the Bonfire e-procurement system. No award value, budget range, or incumbent vendor was disclosed. Local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity aligned to its actual product definition; opportunities tagged to it warrant verification against the issuing body's technical scope before bid preparation.
