Is there an IATA airport code for the Bay Area?

Yes, there is a code for the Bay Area: QSF, which covers SFO, OAK and SJC. These are called “Metropolitan area airport codes”, and Wikivoyage has the full list.

However, there’s an important caveat: unlike “NYC”, this particular code is not actually an IATA code, it’s just convenient shorthand for some airline booking systems (GDS). “QSF” will thus work on Sabre and ITA, but not other systems, where “QSF” may also be an obscure airport in Algeria. Wikipedia has a (partial) list of bona fide IATA metropolitan codes.
