PSC 4220: Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC 4220 (Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment).

Product and Service Code (PSC) 4220 — Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment — is an official federal procurement classification within Federal Supply Class 42 — Fire Fighting, Rescue & Safety Equipment managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) under the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) Product and Service Codes Manual. Across federal agencies, contracting officers obligate approximately $620 Million annually under PSC 4220, with 290+ Bids active solicitations, pre-solicitation notices, and task order RFQs circulating on SAM.gov and agency e-Buy portals. While a 6-digit NAICS code defines a contractor's overall industry and Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard, PSC 4220 specifies the exact product (marine/diving) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC 4220 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), which carries an SBA small business size standard of 800 Employees. Major buying commands—led by Department of the Navy (NAVSEA / NAVSUP) & USMC (68% of spend), Department of Homeland Security (U.S. Coast Guard) (24%), and Army Corps of Engineers & NOAA (6%)—use PSC 4220 to categorize statements of work encompassing Inflatable Marine Life Rafts, Life Preserver Vests, Immersion Suits & Man-Overboard Beacons; Military & Commercial Open/Closed-Circuit SCUBA Diving Rebreathers, Regulators & Cylinders; and Hyperbaric Recompression Chambers, Surface-Supplied Diving Helmets & Dry Suits. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC 4220 with NAICS 339113 is critical because many agencies filter dynamic small business searches, GSA e-Buy distributions, and historical FPDS incumbent spend analyses by PSC rather than NAICS alone. Procurement teams issuing awards under PSC 4220 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as DLA Land & Maritime / NAVSEA. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC 4220 competitions to certified small businesses—including 8(a) Business Development participants, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), and HUBZone firms. Offerors responding to PSC 4220 RFPs must demonstrate strict compliance with applicable FAR and DFARS clauses, deliverable quality standards, and supply-chain or labor regulations. For contractors expanding across both federal and state/local (SLED) markets, PSC 4220 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 345-00 (First Aid and Safety Equipment and Supplies (PPE, AEDs, Safety Gear)) used by state procurement portals, municipal purchasing departments, public universities, and K-12 school districts. InTandem's automated government contracting platform continuously monitors live SAM.gov notices tagged with PSC 4220 alongside matching state and local NIGP 345-00 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
