UNSPSC 31381541: Plastic bonded injection molded off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet

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

UNSPSC 31381541 Plastic bonded injection molded off tool anisotropic barium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code, but the one recent state and local opportunity on record shows a significant mismatch: the City of Midland, Texas solicited fire hydrants under this code, a product entirely outside the nominal scope of plastic bonded ferrite magnets. State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a meaningful business development focus. The fire hydrant procurement itself—a conventional public works purchase—bears no relationship to the magnetic-material taxonomy this code represents, suggesting either a misclassification by the issuing body or a disconnect between the code assignment and the actual commodity being bought.

The City of Midland's IFB for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) on behalf of Mason County closed on April 9, 2026, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. No incumbent vendor was named, and no budget or award value was disclosed. Given the absence of genuine ferrite-magnet procurement opportunities in the recent record and the clear mismatch with the single posted opportunity, vendors in the plastic bonded ferrite space should treat this code as dormant for state and local targeting purposes.
