UNSPSC 31381510: Plastic bonded injection molded machined anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet

Injection molded anisotropic samarium magnet that has been plastic bonded and machined

UNSPSC 31381510 Plastic bonded injection molded machined anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code that describes specialized engineered magnets, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows a divergence from its nominal scope. The Texas A&M University System posted an invitation to bid (ITB) for stainless steel diaphragm plates—a metal fabrication product unrelated to the magnet specification. State and local purchasing offices tag commodities inconsistently across jurisdictions, and this code appears to reflect that misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement needs. The limited recent activity makes it difficult to characterize what state and local governments are truly buying under this code or which types of issuing bodies pursue it regularly.

The single recent opportunity on record is the Texas A&M University System ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, posted October 12, 2026 with bids due October 28, 2026. All bidding occurs through the AggieBid procurement portal, with questions directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or submitted via the Q&A function in AggieBid. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, set-asides, preferences, or anticipated award timing. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope (plastic bonded injection molded magnets) and the opportunity posted under it (stainless steel plates), this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing specialized magnet supply or related engineered products in state and local markets.
