UNSPSC 31381538: Plastic bonded injection molded off tool isotropic samarium cobalt magnet

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

UNSPSC 31381538 Plastic bonded injection molded off tool isotropic samarium cobalt magnet is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent solicitation posted under this code—the City of Midland, Texas fire hydrant procurement—appears to be a misclassification, as fire hydrants are not plastic bonded injection molded magnets and do not align with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing specialized magnetic components used in industrial equipment, electrical machinery, and precision instruments where samarium cobalt magnets offer high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance, rather than water infrastructure components. The Commodity code sees sparse activity across state and local jurisdictions, with no identifiable pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated purchasing volume.

Geographic activity is not meaningfully characterized by the available record. The City of Midland, Texas posted the one recent opportunity—solicitation 26003721 for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026 via the Bonfire e-procurement system—but this IFB does not represent genuine procurement under the samarium cobalt magnet Commodity code. The mismatch between the code and the fire hydrant solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental absence of current state and local demand for plastic bonded injection molded magnets. Business development professionals should verify whether this code tracks actual magnet procurement activity or treat it as dormant pending corrected opportunity data.
