PSC V231: Transportation/Travel/Relocation - Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Lodging, Hotel/Motel — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC V231 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation - Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Lodging, Hotel/Motel).

Product and Service Code (PSC) V231 — Transportation/Travel/Relocation - Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Lodging, Hotel/Motel — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio V — Transportation, Travel, and Relocation 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 $1.4 Billion annually under PSC V231, with 360+ 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 V231 specifies the exact logistics & transport deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC V231 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 721110 (Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $40.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (National Guard, MEPS, Air Force) (64% of spend), Department of Homeland Security (FEMA/FLETC) (21%), and Department of Veterans Affairs (9%)—use PSC V231 to categorize statements of work encompassing National Guard & Reserve Drill Weekend Billeting (UTA Lodging) & Yellow Ribbon Events; MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) Applicant Lodging, Meals & Shuttles; and FEMA Emergency Responder & Disaster Survivor Hotel/Motel Block Contracts. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC V231 with NAICS 721110 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 V231 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as DoD Yellow Ribbon / FEMA. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC V231 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 V231 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 V231 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 971-30 (Hotel, Motel, Lodging, and Conference Facility Rental 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 V231 alongside matching state and local NIGP 971-30 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
