PSC Q501: Medical - Anesthesiology — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC Q501 (Medical - Anesthesiology).

Product and Service Code (PSC) Q501 — Medical - Anesthesiology — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio Q — Medical Services 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 $820 Million annually under PSC Q501, with 230+ 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 Q501 specifies the exact medical service (specialty) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC Q501 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists)), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $16.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Veterans Affairs (58% of spend), Department of Defense (DHA) (26%), and Indian Health Service (14%)—use PSC Q501 to categorize statements of work encompassing Board-Certified Anesthesiologists & Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs); 24/7 Surgical Suite, Trauma & Obstetric Anesthesia Coverage at VA & DoD Hospitals; and Interventional Pain Management Clinic Procedures & Pre-Operative Evaluations. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC Q501 with NAICS 621111 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 Q501 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA MAS 621 I. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC Q501 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 Q501 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 Q501 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 948-74 (Professional Medical Services (Physicians, Specialists, and Clinic Operations)) 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 Q501 alongside matching state and local NIGP 948-74 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
