UNSPSC 31381530: Plastic bonded injection molded coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

Injection molded anisotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been plastic bonded and coated

UNSPSC 31381530 Plastic bonded injection molded coated anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the City of Midland, Texas fire hydrant procurement—does not involve plastic bonded magnets or any magnetic component specification; the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or a vendor-system artifact rather than genuine demand for the product class named in the code. State and local procurement offices do not appear to be actively sourcing plastic bonded anisotropic barium ferrite magnets as standalone items or components under this code tier at present.

The City of Midland (on behalf of Mason County) issued an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants—45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units—with bids due April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The solicitation requires F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid, itemized pricing, technical literature, and delivery timeframes, and applies Texas local preference provisions under Section 271.9051 (within five percent of lowest non-local bid). No incumbent vendor or award value is disclosed. The code's sparse and off-nominal activity suggests this Commodity code is not a priority pursuit vehicle for vendors in the plastic bonded magnet supply chain serving state and local government.
