PSC R699 closes out the R6 administrative support series. The named codes above it are strikingly specific: courier and messenger (R602), transcription (R603), library (R605), court reporting (R606), word processing (R607), translation and interpreting (R608), stenographic (R609), paper shredding (R614), background investigation (R615), and the two records management codes added in 2019 (R616 physical, R617 electronic). Anything administrative that does not match one of those falls to R699, which still moved $3.4 billion in FY2025.
An unusually flat distribution
For a code of this size, no industry owns it. Management consulting 541611 leads with only $537 million. Office Administrative Services (561110) is not far behind at $412 million, then engineering services 541330 at $362 million, facilities support 561210 at $211 million, and financial transactions processing 522320 at $154 million. Five industries, and the largest holds under a fifth of the code.
The two-code system in a sentence
Every federal award gets a PSC chosen by the buyer and a NAICS code the buyer chooses separately, which is why an administrative code can carry an engineering NAICS code.
The practical read: R699 is a supporting filter. Combine it with the specific R6 code closest to your service line, because a competitor doing your exact work may be filed one code away.
PSC R699 FAQ
What does PSC R699 cover?
Administrative support services with no dedicated R6 code. Because the R6 series names transcription, courier, library, court reporting, shredding, records management and more, R699 is defined by what is left over.
What NAICS codes win R699 work?
The FY2025 leaders were 541611 at $537 million, Office Administrative Services (561110) at $412 million, and 541330 at $362 million. No industry took even 20 percent of the code.
Should I use R699 or a specific R6 code in market research?
Use both. Contracting officers vary in how hard they look for a specific code, so the same recurring requirement can appear under R603 one year and R699 the next.
Where did records management go?
Physical records management moved to PSC R616 and electronic records management to PSC R617 when both codes were activated in May 2019. Older records work still shows up under R699.
