PSC U009: Education/Training - General — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC U009 (Education/Training - General).

Product and Service Code (PSC) U009 — Education/Training - General — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio U — Education and Training 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 $2.8 Billion annually under PSC U009, with 350+ 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 U009 specifies the exact education & training deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC U009 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $15.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (54% of spend), Department of Labor (17%), and Department of Education / OPM (14%)—use PSC U009 to categorize statements of work encompassing Classroom & Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) for Federal & Military Personnel; Executive Coaching, Project Management (PMP), Agile & Six Sigma Certification Bootcamps; and Safety (OSHA), Environmental Compliance & Ethics Workforce Training Programs. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC U009 with NAICS 611430 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 U009 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA MAS 611430. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC U009 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 U009 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 U009 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 924-00 (Educational and Training Services (K-12, Higher Ed, and Workforce)) 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 U009 alongside matching state and local NIGP 924-00 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
