UNSPSC 31381535: Plastic bonded injection molded off tool isotropic barium ferrite magnet

Injection molded isotropic barium ferrite magnet that has been Injection molded off-tool and plastic bondedoff-tool

UNSPSC 31381535 Plastic bonded injection molded off tool isotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized magnetic components and related infrastructure equipment. Recent solicitation activity shows this code tagged to fire hydrant procurement, though the specific commodity scope—plastic bonded injection molded ferrite magnets—does not align with typical fire hydrant component sourcing; the mismatch suggests either classification drift in the issuing body's tagging system or a subordinate role for magnet components within hydrant assemblies. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement channels, with no indication of repeated or concentrated solicitation patterns across multiple jurisdictions.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants (45 four-foot units, 20 five-foot units, and 6 six-foot units) under project U25-01, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing, product literature, and delivery timeframes through the Bonfire e-procurement system; the city applied local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and reserved award discretion based on lowest responsible bidder or best value. No budget ceiling or set-aside designations were disclosed in the procurement documents. The narrow activity window and single recent opportunity provide insufficient basis to characterize geographic concentration or identify repeat buyers in this commodity space.
