UNSPSC 31381553: Plastic bonded injection molded anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly

Injection molded anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly that has been plastic bonded and machined

UNSPSC 31381553 Plastic bonded injection molded anisotropic strontium ferrite magnet assembly is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under it does not align with its nominal scope—the single solicitation on record involves fire hydrants for municipal water infrastructure, not magnet assemblies. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for magnet components in state and local procurement.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand and product information, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. The City reserved award authority to the lowest responsible bidder or best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions applying when a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No SBE, MBE, WBE, or other set-asides were specified. This fire hydrant procurement demonstrates a mismatch between the code's magnet-assembly designation and actual state and local buying activity under it; business development professionals should verify whether magnet assemblies are actually sourced under this code or whether the categorization requires clarification with procurement systems before pursuing opportunities in this segment.
