PSC R408: Support - Professional: Program Management/Support — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC R408 (Support - Professional: Program Management/Support).

Product and Service Code (PSC) R408 — Support - Professional: Program Management/Support — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio R — Professional, Administrative & Management Support 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 $16.8 Billion annually under PSC R408, with 960+ 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 R408 specifies the exact service (professional) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC R408 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $24.5 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (45% of spend), Department of Veterans Affairs (16%), and Department of Homeland Security (14%)—use PSC R408 to categorize statements of work encompassing Program Management Office (PMO) Operations, Integrated Master Scheduling (IMS) & EVM; Acquisition Lifecycle Support, DoD 5000 Series Documentation & Risk Management; and Stakeholder Coordination, Executive Briefing Preparation & Performance Metrics. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC R408 with NAICS 541611 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 R408 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA MAS 541611. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC R408 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 R408 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 R408 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 958-77 (Project Management Services (IT, Capital Projects, and Organizational)) used by state procurement portals, municipal purchasing departments, public universities, and K-12 school districts.
