UNSPSC 31381554: Plastic bonded injection molded anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly

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

UNSPSC 31381554 Plastic bonded injection molded anisotropic samarium cobalt magnet assembly is a Commodity code that covers specialized engineered magnetic components and related precision metal parts used in industrial and institutional applications. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant purchasing — the single recent opportunity posted does not align with the code's stated scope. Texas A&M University System issued an ITB on October 12, 2026 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, a commodity distinct from the plastic-bonded samarium cobalt magnets the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or that the code captures a broader range of precision metal and composite components than its name indicates. The Texas A&M opportunity does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, or pre-bid conference details.

The geographic spread of activity under this code is too sparse to characterize meaningfully. The sole recent opportunity originates in Texas through an institutional buyer (Texas A&M University System) using electronic-only bidding through the AggieBid procurement portal, with bids due October 28, 2026. Questions and addenda flow through AggieBid rather than traditional state procurement channels, and vendor registration requires separate enrollment in the university system's portal. The lack of additional state and local opportunities in the recent record indicates low procurement volume under this code, or that state and local buyers may be tagging similar components under different UNSPSC categories.
