My CO isn't really sure which SIN she wants to solicit under and is insisting on only choosing one. Would we be able to just submit the RFQ under like 3 to 4 different SINs that all seem to cover the work?

So does this quote from the GSA Schedule Ordering Guide help you solve the dilemma?

"Assign a NAICS Code to Each Order The OCO must assign a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code to each task order solicitation. The NAICS code assigned should reflect the principal nature of the work required under the task order and must come from the available NAICS codes awarded on the GSA Schedule contract. NAICS codes not represented on the Schedule contract may not be used at the order level. GSA’s MAS Program uses special item numbers (SINs) to delineate discrete categories under the 83 subcategories that make up the Schedule. These SINs are NAICS based and assist the ordering activity in applying the proper NAICS code for the order. e.g. The SIN for general engineering services is 541330ENG and the NAICS is 541330. Caution: In accordance with regulations, contracting professionals must select the NAICS code for the order based upon the preponderance of work to be performed."

So as long as the SIN falls under the chosen NAICS they can choose as many SINs as they want, then companies would bid based on the offerings they have under those SINs?

Correct. Don’t overthink this. Also don’t complicate or confuse things by stating offers are restricted to a single or specific SIN(s).
