561990: All Other Support Services

NAICS 561990 covers all other support services, a broad category where the federal government spent $41.23 billion across 51,421 awards from 2001 to 2027. The Defense Commissary Agency, Army Sustainment Command, and Air Force Materiel Command are major buyers. Most awards go unrestricted, though the Small Business Administration set-aside program accounts for about 18 percent of awards. With 2,182 distinct vendors on record, the market remains fragmented. Buyers range from small federal agencies to large commands, and they purchase everything this classification covers.

The median award of $16,500 signals that most contracts are small, though the top four buyers account for $19.12 billion, meaning large deals concentrate among a few agencies. A firm considering this space should know that 60 percent of awards carry no set-aside restriction, so competition is open to all vendors. The SBA set-aside program offers a clearer path for small businesses, with 9,168 awards. If your firm qualifies as an 8(a) or HUBZone contractor, those categories show 435 and 366 awards respectively, smaller but potentially less crowded.

Watch for 1,038 contracts worth $2.84 billion ending within the next 12 months. These represent recompete opportunities where incumbent vendors may face new competition or where new entrants can bid. The 38 active notices suggest steady procurement activity. Track which agencies post most frequently in this code and monitor their contract vehicles, since repeat buyers like PEO-SOFSA and the Defense Commissary Agency may offer faster paths to award than one-off solicitations.
