PSC Y1DB: Construction of Laboratories and Clinics — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC Y1DB (Construction of Laboratories and Clinics).

Product and Service Code (PSC) Y1DB — Construction of Laboratories and Clinics — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio Y — Construction of Structures and Facilities 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 $3.2 Billion annually under PSC Y1DB, with 165+ 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 Y1DB specifies the exact construction (lab/clinic) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC Y1DB is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $45.0 Million. Major buying commands—led by Department of Health and Human Services (NIH/CDC) (35% of spend), Department of Defense (USACE/AFCEC) (34%), and Department of Energy (18%)—use PSC Y1DB to categorize statements of work encompassing BSL-2/BSL-3 Biosafety Laboratories, Cleanrooms & ResearchVivarium Facilities; Outpatient Dental, Optometry, Prosthetics & Primary Care Clinic Buildouts; and Precision Laboratory Fume Hoods, HEPA Filtration, Pure Water & Specialty Gas Systems. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC Y1DB with NAICS 236220 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 Y1DB utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as USACE / NIH / DOE. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC Y1DB 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 Y1DB 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 Y1DB maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 909-24 (Building Construction, Commercial and Institutional (Hospitals, Labs, Civic Centers)) 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 Y1DB alongside matching state and local NIGP 909-24 bids, enabling capture teams to uncover hidden opportunities and generate compliant proposals faster.
