PSC 6515: Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

Product and Service Code (PSC) 6515 — Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies — is an official federal procurement classification within Federal Supply Class 65 — Medical, Dental & Veterinary Supplies 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 $14.2 Billion annually under PSC 6515, with 1,450+ 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 6515 specifies the exact product (medical) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC 6515 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), which carries an SBA small business size standard of 1,000 Employees. Major buying commands—led by Department of Veterans Affairs (VHA Prosthetics & Logistics) (58% of spend), Department of Defense (DLA Troop Support Medical) (31%), and Department of Health and Human Services (IHS) (8%)—use PSC 6515 to categorize statements of work encompassing Surgical Instruments, Orthopedic Implants, Endoscopes, Catheters & Wound Care Dressings; Patient Monitors, Defibrillators, Ventilators, Anesthesia Workstations & Infusion Pumps; and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK), Tourniquets & Hemostatics. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC 6515 with NAICS 339112 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 6515 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as VA FSS 65 II A / DLA ECAT. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC 6515 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 6515 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 6515 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 475-00 (Hospital, Surgical, and Medical Accessories and Sundry Items) 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 6515 alongside matching state and local NIGP 475-00 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
