I. Introduction

The Product and Service Codes (PSC) Manual provides codes to describe products, services, and research and development (R&D) purchased by the federal government. These codes indicate "WHAT" was bought for each contract action reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

The PSC Manual has been updated to reflect the changes made to the PSC codes via FPDS V1.5 Service Pack 4. In addition, text regarding the PSC Management Process (p. 4) and Category Management (p. 8) were added to the manual.

II. Guidelines/Policy

Please reference the link obtain the following:

Product Service Codes (PSCs) Management Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) which documents the process for the administration and management of the Product Service Codes (PSCs);

Spreadsheet detailing the Governmentwide Category Management alignment of the PSC; and

Spreadsheet with the PSC data codes' activation and end dates.

Two FPDS data elements are the primary focus of the changes in this manual. The PSC is entered in FPDS in data element 8A, "Product or Service Code." Environmental attributes are entered in data element 8L, "Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes."

These product/service codes are used to record the products and services being purchased by the Federal Government. In many cases, a given contract/task order/purchase order will include more than one product and/or service. In such cases, the "Product or Service Code" data element code should be selected based on the predominant product or service that is being purchased. For example, a contract for $1000 of lumber and $500 of pipe would be coded under 5510, "Lumber & Related Wood Materials."

Similarly, a given contract/task order/purchase order may include products/services with and without environmental attributes. In such cases, data element 8L, "Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes," should be filled in based on the predominant product or service that is being purchased. For example, a contract for $1000 of energy star refrigerators and $500 of standard refrigerators would be coded under 4110, "Refrigeration Equipment" with the "Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes" data element 8L selected as "energy efficient."

Determining the environmental attributes associated with acquisition of services presents challenges. Many service acquisitions tend to be predominantly labor-based, which in itself does not have environmental attributes. However, in accomplishing the objectives of the services contract, environmental attributes may apply and it is important to provide agencies both the flexibility and information to make such decisions. GSA will update this manual with additional guidance as soon as it becomes available.
