PSC Y1KF: Construction of Dredging Facilities and Waterway Improvements — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC Y1KF (Construction of Dredging Facilities and Waterway Improvements).

Product and Service Code (PSC) Y1KF — Construction of Dredging Facilities and Waterway Improvements — 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 $2.7 Billion annually under PSC Y1KF, with 150+ 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 Y1KF specifies the exact construction (marine) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC Y1KF is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which carries an SBA small business size standard of $45.0 Million ($37M Dredging). Major buying commands—led by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (86% of spend), Department of Homeland Security (USCG) (8%), and Department of the Navy (NAVFAC) (5%)—use PSC Y1KF to categorize statements of work encompassing Harbor Deepening, Navigation Channel Maintenance Dredging & Spoil Placement; Coastal Storm Risk Management, Beach Nourishment, Jetties & Breakwaters; and Inland Waterway Lock and Dam Concrete Rehabilitation & Cofferdam Construction. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC Y1KF with NAICS 237990 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 Y1KF utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as USACE Civil Works. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC Y1KF 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 Y1KF 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 Y1KF maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 968-34 (Dredging Services (Municipal Ports, Marinas, Channels, and Stormwater Lakes)) used by state procurement portals, municipal purchasing departments, public universities, and K-12 school districts.
