UNSPSC 31381525: Plastic bonded injection molded coated isotropic strontium ferrite magnet

Injection molded isotropic strontium ferrite magnet that has been plastic bonded and coated

UNSPSC 31381525 Plastic bonded injection molded coated isotropic strontium ferrite magnet (Commodity) describes specialized magnetic components; however, the single recent state and local opportunity posted under this code—a fire hydrant procurement—does not align with the code's nominal scope and appears to be a tagging mismatch. The City of Midland, Texas (acting on behalf of Mason County) solicited 71 fire hydrants for a hydrant replacement project via competitive bid in March 2026, a procurement driven by infrastructure maintenance rather than magnet component supply. No pattern of relevant recent activity under this code is evident in available state and local records, and the fire hydrant solicitation suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or incidental inclusion of magnetic components within a larger hydrant assembly specification.

Without a robust set of recent opportunities aligned to the code's actual scope, characterizing issuing-body types, geographic concentration, or market demand proves unreliable. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local agencies are actively procuring plastic-bonded strontium ferrite magnets as standalone items or as components within larger assemblies, or whether the single fire hydrant posting represents an outlier misclassification. A formal market scan of state purchasing databases and follow-up with procurement offices in states with significant manufacturing or OEM activity may be necessary to establish whether meaningful demand exists under this Commodity code.
