When SIN 561621H fits
SIN 561621H quick facts
A compact view of the official SIN record from the user's Refresh 32 MAS offerings workbook.
What SIN 561621H covers
561621H Includes all types of harbor and waterfront security products, such as specialized surveillance equipment, professional marine security services, and training related to harbor/waterfront/marine security. ^^^^NOTE: Subject to Cooperative Purchasing
The official record maps this SIN to NAICS 561621 and PSC 1940. Those codes are not the whole strategy, but they help explain how the offering is categorized for buyers and reviewers.
How to prepare the offer story
For service-oriented SINs, keep the service description, labor categories, pricing support, and past-performance examples aligned. A reviewer should be able to see what work is being sold, who performs it, and why the rate story is defensible.
If the SIN is being added through eMod, write down what changes operationally: new scope, new pricing, new files, catalog impact, and who owns maintenance after approval.
Buyer and SEO language to keep straight
Use the SIN number, title, category, and subcategory together: SIN 561621H - Harbor/Waterfront Security Products and Services and Professional Marine Security Services - Security and Protection - Marine and Harbor. That combination helps a buyer understand the lane quickly and helps the page avoid becoming a vague keyword page.
When writing capability language, explain the actual deliverables and evidence. Do not make the SIN carry the whole message by itself.
What this looks like in practice
Real-world checkHow to test SIN 561621H before building files
Start with the official title and description: Harbor/Waterfront Security Products and Services and Professional Marine Security Services sits under Security and Protection > Marine and Harbor. Then compare your actual commercial offering to that scope, not only to the NAICS code.
If the fit still looks strong, build the proof stack: offering description, pricing support, past performance or product support, and any SIN-specific files the current GSA instructions require.
- Confirm scope language.
- Check NAICS and PSC signals.
- Match the pricing file to the offering type.
- Keep the support package reviewer-friendly.
Frequently asked questions
Is SIN 561621H part of TDR?
The Refresh 32 workbook marks TDR as Y for this SIN. GSA states that TDR became mandatory across MAS SINs with Refresh 31, so contractors should still verify current contract reporting instructions in official GSA sources.
Can order-level materials be used with SIN 561621H?
The workbook marks OLM as Y. OLM treatment should always be verified against the current MAS solicitation, mass modifications, and contract-specific instructions.
Should I pick a SIN only because the NAICS matches?
No. NAICS helps, but SIN selection should be based on the actual offering, official SIN description, category/subcategory, pricing files, and buyer acquisition path.
