PSC J042: Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment - Fire Fighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC J042 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment - Fire Fighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment).

Product and Service Code (PSC) J042 — Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment - Fire Fighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio J — Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of 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 $680 Million annually under PSC J042, with 390+ 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 J042 specifies the exact equipment mro (fire/safety) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC J042 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $25.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (Navy, Air Force, Army) (64% of spend), Department of Veterans Affairs & GSA (21%), and Department of Homeland Security (USCG) (11%)—use PSC J042 to categorize statements of work encompassing NFPA 10/25/72 Fire Extinguisher Hydrostatic Testing, Sprinkler System & Fire Pump Maintenance; SCBA Breathing Air Compressor, Air Cylinder, Regulator & Quantitative Fit-Test Servicing; and Shipboard Fixed Halon/AFFF/FM-200/Novec Suppression & Damage Control Locker Maintenance. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC J042 with NAICS 561621 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 J042 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as DoD / VA / GSA / USCG. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC J042 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 J042 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 J042 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 936-33 (Fire Protection Equipment and Systems Maintenance and Repair (Extinguishers, Sprinklers, Alarms)) 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 J042 alongside matching state and local NIGP 936-33 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
