NAICS 812199 – Other Personal Care Services encompasses a broad array of non-medical personal care services not classified elsewhere, including grooming, spa treatments, hair removal, nail care, cosmetic waxing, and other hygiene-focused personal services. While primarily a commercial sector, this NAICS code may appear in federal contracting when services are provided to government personnel in controlled environments such as military installations, federal correctional facilities, or veteran care centers under contract. These services support workforce readiness, morale, and wellness programs, particularly in settings where access to external providers is restricted. The work typically involves licensed or certified personnel operating under strict sanitation and safety protocols, often integrated into broader facility support contracts. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or fragmented contract activity within the federal marketplace. When present, contractors are likely small businesses or local service providers contracted through blanket purchase agreements or task orders under larger facility services contracts, rather than large primes. No agency data is available, suggesting no single federal department dominates procurement in this category. When awards occur, they are typically issued by the Department of Defense for on-base wellness centers, the Department of Veterans Affairs for long-term care facilities, or the Federal Bureau of Prisons for inmate hygiene services. The market context is characterized by low opportunity density and high geographic fragmentation. Contracting is sporadic and often bundled under broader custodial or morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) support contracts. Opportunities exist for niche service providers with experience in regulated environments, particularly those capable of meeting federal health and safety compliance standards. Procurement tends to favor local vendors with proven track records in institutional settings.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
