PSC S214: Housekeeping - Snow Removal/Salt — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC S214 (Housekeeping - Snow Removal/Salt).

Product and Service Code (PSC) S214 — Housekeeping - Snow Removal/Salt — 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 $380 Million annually under PSC S214, with 290+ 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 S214 specifies the exact service (grounds) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC S214 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $9.5 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (47% of spend), General Services Administration (26%), and Department of Veterans Affairs (19%)—use PSC S214 to categorize statements of work encompassing 24/7 Winter Storm Plowing, De-Icing Brine Application & Sidewalk Clearing; Airfield Runway/Taxiway High-Speed Snow Sweeping & Potassium Acetate De-Icing; and VA Hospital Emergency Room Access Ramp Heating/Salting & Snow Hauling. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC S214 with NAICS 561790 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 S214 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA / DoD BOS. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC S214 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 S214 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 S214 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 988-80 (Snow and Ice Removal Services) used by state procurement portals, municipal purchasing departments, public universities, and K-12 school districts.
