PSC AN11: Health R&D Services; Health Care - Basic Research — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC AN11 (Health R&D Services; Health Care - Basic Research).

Product and Service Code (PSC) AN11 — Health R&D Services; Health Care - Basic Research — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio A — Research and Development (R&D) 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 $6.8 Billion annually under PSC AN11, with 280+ 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 AN11 specifies the exact health r&d deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC AN11 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 541714 (R&D in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology)), which carries an SBA small business size standard of 1,000 Employees. Major buying commands—led by Department of Health and Human Services (NIH / BARDA / CDC) (78% of spend), Department of Defense (DHA / USAMRDC) (15%), and Department of Veterans Affairs (5%)—use PSC AN11 to categorize statements of work encompassing NIH Extramural R&D Contracts, Preclinical Drug Discovery & Vaccine Antigen Design; Genomic, Proteomic, Oncology, Infectious Disease & Neurological Biomarker Research; and Biodefense Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Discovery for BARDA & DoD DTRA. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC AN11 with NAICS 541714 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 AN11 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as NIH / BARDA / CDMRP. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC AN11 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 AN11 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 AN11 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 948-55 (Medical, Clinical, Forensic, and Diagnostic Laboratory Testing Services) 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 AN11 alongside matching state and local NIGP 948-55 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
