UNSPSC 31381502: Plastic bonded injection molded machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Injection molded isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been plastic bonded and machined

UNSPSC 31381502 Plastic bonded injection molded machined isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that covers specialized magnetic materials and components used in industrial and technical applications, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope — the single recent opportunity reflects metal fabrication rather than ferrite magnet production. State and local governments sourcing under this code span higher-education institutions and their procurement systems; Texas A&M University System appears as a buyer through its AggieBid electronic procurement portal. The work being solicited includes precision-machined metal components such as stainless steel diaphragm plates, which diverges materially from the code's stated focus on bonded ferrite magnets.

Recent activity is limited to a single posted opportunity: Texas A&M University System issued an ITB (TAMUS-ITB-26-0547) for stainless steel diaphragm plates with bids due October 28, 2026. The solicitation is managed exclusively through the AggieBid portal with no pre-bid conference, site visit, budget disclosure, or set-aside information provided in available documentation. Geographic concentration appears limited to Texas based on current posting activity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (ferrite magnets) and actual procurement activity (metal fabrication) suggests either misclassification at the point of posting or minimal current state and local demand for the product category as defined.
