PSC S205: Housekeeping - Trash/Garbage Collection — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC S205 (Housekeeping - Trash/Garbage Collection).

Product and Service Code (PSC) S205 — Housekeeping - Trash/Garbage Collection — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio S — Utilities and Housekeeping 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 $980 Million annually under PSC S205, with 430+ 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 S205 specifies the exact service (waste) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC S205 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $47.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (56% of spend), Department of Veterans Affairs (21%), and Department of the Interior (NPS) (11%)—use PSC S205 to categorize statements of work encompassing Front-Load Dumpster, Roll-Off Compactor & Municipal Solid Waste Hauling; Single-Stream Recycling, Cardboard Baler Operations & Green Waste Composting; and Regulated Medical Waste (RMW), Sharps & Biohazard Autoclave/Incineration Hauling. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC S205 with NAICS 562111 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 S205 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA MAS 562111. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC S205 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 S205 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 S205 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 910-27 (Garbage and Trash Removal, Disposal, and Recycling 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 S205 alongside matching state and local NIGP 910-27 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
