PSC S214

Overview

Product Service Codes (PSCs) are a government-wide, four-character classification system used to describe the specific products and services procured by federal agencies. PSCs support FPDS/SAM reporting, spend analysis, and category management; the codes and related guidance are described in official procurement glossaries and the PSC Manual. ¹

The PSC S214 — HOUSEKEEPING- CARPET LAYING/CLEANING — is the PSC label used in federal procurement records to classify carpet installation, repair, and cleaning work. Detailed, PSC-level scope language is not always published verbatim on the public manual page; users should consult the PSC dataset or contracting-agency records for machine-readable entries and any includes/excludes notes. ²

Contracting considerations

• Procurement vehicle and NAICS alignment: solicitations using PSC S214 commonly cite NAICS such as 238330 or 561740; verify the NAICS code and size standard specified in each solicitation. ²
• Service Contract Act and wage determinations: whether specific carpet laying or cleaning tasks require DOL wage determinations depends on contract coverage and SCA applicability; PSC entries alone do not define SCA coverage. Not specified by official sources at the PSC entry level. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Where is the official PSC definition and scope language for S214?
  A: The authoritative repository for PSC definitions and the PSC Manual is Acquisition.gov; detailed machine-readable PSC entries and crosswalks are distributed through the PSC dataset and public APIs. Check the PSC Manual and dataset for includes/excludes notes. ²

• Q: Which NAICS should be listed when a requirement is primarily carpet installation or cleaning?
  A: Common primary NAICS used with carpet work are 238330 (Flooring Contractors) or 561740 (Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services). The contracting officer selects the NAICS that best represents the principal industry of the requirement. ²

• Q: How can I retrieve machine-readable PSC details for S214?
  A: The public PSC API and the PSC dataset provide machine-readable records (code, name, status, includes/excludes). Query the official PSC public endpoint or dataset to retrieve the S214 record programmatically. ³

• Q: Does the PSC S214 determine small-business set-asides?
  A: No. Set-aside determinations are driven by the solicitation’s NAICS and its SBA size standard plus acquisition strategy. The PSC code is a reporting/classification field and does not by itself set size standards. Not specified by official PSC entries. ²
