UNSPSC 31381542: Plastic bonded injection molded off tool anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet

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

UNSPSC 31381542 Plastic bonded injection molded off tool anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet is a Commodity code showing minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity on record—the City of Midland, Texas procurement of fire hydrants for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—does not align with the code's nominal scope. The solicitation specifies 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) conforming to attached technical specifications, with itemized pricing, descriptive literature, and delivery timeframes required. This represents infrastructure replacement work rather than the procurement of plastic bonded injection molded magnets. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to the opportunity or that recent state and local purchasing under this code does not cluster around magnet procurement.

Activity under the code appears limited to Texas. The City of Midland IFB (Solicitation 26003721) closed April 9, 2026, with bids submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied, allowing the city council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were specified, and the procurement documents did not disclose an incumbent vendor or award value. The absence of additional opportunities in the recent-opportunities block indicates this code sees sparse state and local solicitation activity and may warrant deprioritization unless your firm has specific capability in plastic bonded magnet manufacturing with customer relationships in municipal water or utility infrastructure.
