UNSPSC 31381515: Plastic bonded injection molded machined and coated isotropic neodymium magnet

Injection molded isotropic neodymium magnet that has been plastic bonded, machined, and coated

UNSPSC 31381515 Plastic bonded injection molded machined and coated isotropic neodymium magnet is a Commodity code that covers specialized engineered magnetic materials used in precision industrial and research applications. State and local procurement activity under this code is minimal; the recent opportunities block shows a single posted solicitation, which is itself a poor fit — the Texas A&M University System's October 2026 ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates does not involve magnets of any kind and appears to be mislabeled against this code. The code's actual scope — plastic bonded neodymium magnets suitable for machining and coating — aligns with demand in advanced manufacturing, medical devices, automotive components, and laboratory equipment, but state and local governments rarely solicit these materials directly as standalone procurements.

The single recent opportunity is the Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, posted October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, conducted entirely through the AggieBid portal. No other recent state or local solicitations under this code appear in the source. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual diaphragm-plate solicitation suggests this code sees little intentional use in state and local procurement; when universities or government agencies do specify engineered magnets, they typically embed the requirement in broader equipment or assembly procurements rather than issue standalone material solicitations. Business development professionals should treat this code as low-activity and monitor whether the Texas A&M posting reflects a labeling error or the beginning of a trend.
