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 21.

For more information on the PSC Management Process and the roles and responsibilities of managing the PSC,

please reference the PSC Standard Operating Procedures at www.acquisition.gov/PSC_Manual.

II. Guidelines/Policy

Please reference the link https://www.acquisition.gov/PSC_Manual_to 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.

III. Environmental Reporting Requirements

Statutory requirements and Executive Order 13514 direct the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Office of

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) to report on procurement of products and services with environmental attributes

including recycled content, biobased, and energy efficient.

FPDS will be used to collect data on the procurement of products and services with these environmental attributes.

The initial phase of implementation allows for the collection of the three attributes listed above plus an

“environmentally preferable” attribute which includes other attributes. The following definitions apply to data

collected in FPDS.

PSC Manual: Introductory Materials Page 5

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Per FAR 2.101, “Energy efficient-product” means a product that—

 Meets Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency criteria for use of the Energy Star

trademark label; or

 Is in the upper 25 percent of efficiency for all similar products as designated by the Department of Energy’s

Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP).

As used in this definition, the term “product” does not include any energy-consuming product or system designed or

procured for combat or combat-related missions (42 U.S.C. 8259b).

Per FAR 2.101, “Energy-efficient standby power devices” means products that use-

 External standby power devices, or that contain an internal standby power function; and

 No more than one watt of electricity in their standby power consuming mode or meet recommended low

standby levels as designated by the Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program.

BIOBASED

Per FAR 2.101, “biobased product” means a product determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be a

commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed, in whole or in significant part, of

biological products, including renewable domestic agricultural materials (including plant, animal, and marine

materials) or forestry materials.

ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE

Per FAR 2.101, “environmentally preferable” means products or services that have a lesser or reduced effect on

human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.

This comparison may consider raw materials acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, reuse,

operation, maintenance, or disposal of the product or service.

For the Product Services Code Manual, this includes categories such as EPEAT registered, water efficient,

Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP)/non-ozone depleting, recovered content, and environmentally

preferable products/services (EPA designated).

For the Product Services Code Manual, environmentally preferable also includes building-related or facilities-

related services which are associated with “green” industry standards and certifications, such as the US Green

Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

Environmentally preferable excludes products or services that are predominately bio-based or energy-efficient as

these two categories are defined in the Products and Services Code Manual.

IV. Reporting of Environmental Attributes in FPDS

The tracking of environmental purchases is going to be accomplished through data element 8L, the “Recovered

Materials/Environmental Attributes” data element in FPDS. The “Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes”

data element is an existing field in FPDS which has been modified to allow expanded environmental reporting. The

field now includes a dropdown box with the following options:

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and 52.223-9

• No clauses included and no environmental included

PSC Manual: Introductory Materials Page 6

• Energy efficient

• Biobased

• Environmentally preferable

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and energy efficient

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and biobased

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and environmentally preferable

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and biobased & energy efficient

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and biobased & environmentally preferable

• RCRA FAR 52.223-4 and biobased & energy efficient & environmentally preferable

There will not be a validation rule associated with this data element. It will be possible to select an environmental

attribute that does not apply to the given product or service. For example, one could designate PSC 7350 Tableware

as “Energy Efficient.” Therefore, please use caution and select the appropriate field based upon the contract

requirements.

3. End-dated Q506, Q512, Q526

● How do I select product/service codes?

For a given contract action, the product or service code should be selected based on the predominant product or

service that is being purchased.

● Why is it important to collect codes accurately?

These codes are used to gather data that forms the basis of legally mandated reports. Policy and acquisition decisions

made by Government and private sector executives may be informed by the data captured in and reported from

FPDS.

● Why are we collecting environmental attributes?

The purchase of certain environmentally friendly products and services must be reported per statute and executive

order. The central collection of certain data through FPDS will minimize reporting burden on agencies.

● How do I determine if a service has environmental attributes?

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.

● How are environmental attributes captured in FPDS?

Environmental attributes are entered in data element 8L, “Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes.” The

element can capture various combinations of RCRA, energy efficient, biobased, and environmentally preferable

attributes.

PSC Manual: Section A: Research and Development Codes Page 8

Section A: Research and Development Codes

● If the contract action is for research and experimental development (R&D) services, report an R&D code.

● The Office of Management and Budget defines R&D as (see Circular A-11, Section 84, Schedule C):

o Research and experimental development activities are defined as creative and systematic work

undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge —including knowledge of people, culture,

and society—and to devise new applications using available knowledge.

o R&D must have each of 5 characteristics: novel; creative; uncertain; systematic; and transferable

and/or reproducible.

● Do not assign an R&D code to products purchased in support of research and development work; such

products shall be coded using the appropriate PSC product code.

● The R&D code is composed of two alphabetic and two numeric digits. The first digit is always the letter

“A” to identify R&D, the second digit is alphabetic “A to Z” to identify the major area, the third digit is

numeric 1 to 6 to identify a sub-area within a major area, and the fourth digit is numeric 1 to 5, to identify

the appropriate stage of R&D shown below.

Codes for Stages of R&D (4th Position)—Code Meaning

(1) Basic Research

(2) Applied Research

(3) Experimental Development

(4) Administrative Expenses for R&D

(5) Expenses for R&D Facilities and Major Equipment

Procurement personnel responsible for R&D actions shall obtain sufficient information from requisitioning

personnel to permit accurate classification. When completing this item, the precise R&D Service being purchased

shall be coded.

Example: A contract for research on air pollution by aircraft shall be shown under “Natural Resources and

Environment (AH4*)” for “Pollution control and abatement,” and not under Aerospace Research.

Definitions of stages of R&D

1. Basic research. Experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the

underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts. Basic research may include activities with

broad or general applications in mind, such as the study of how plant genomes change, but should exclude

research directed towards a specific application or requirement, such as the optimization of the genome of a

specific crop species.

2. Applied research. Original investigation undertaken in order to acquire knowledge. Applied research is,

however, directed primarily towards a specific practical aim or objective.

3. Experimental development. Creative and systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research

and practical experience, which is directed at producing new products or processes or improving existing

products or processes. Like research, experimental development will result in gaining additional

knowledge.

For reporting experimental development activities include the following:

 The production of materials, devices, and systems or methods, including the design, construction

and testing of experimental prototypes.

 Technology demonstration, in cases where a system of components is being demonstrated at scale

for the first time, and it is realistic to expect additional refinements to the design (feedback R&D)

following the demonstration. However, not all activities that are defined as “technology

demonstrations” are R&D.

PSC Manual: Section A: Research and Development Codes Page 9

Exclude:

 User demonstrations where the costs and benefits of a system are being validated for a specific use

case. This includes low-rate initial production activities.

 Pre-production development, which is defined as non-experimental work on a product or system

before it goes into full production, including activities such as tooling, and development of

production facilities. For example, exclude activities and programs that are categorized as

“Operational Systems Development” in the Department of Defense’s budget activity structure.

Activities and programs of this type should generally be reported as investments in other major

equipment.

4. Administrative expenses for R&D: Expenses for R&D, such as the operating costs of research facilities

and equipment and other overhead costs.

5. Expenses for R&D Facilities and Major Equipment: Expenses for the purchase, construction,

manufacture, rehabilitation, or major improvement of physical assets that are necessary for the execution of

an R&D program. Expenses for major moveable R&D equipment include acquisition, design, or production

of major movable equipment for use in R&D activities.

Obligations for R&D facilities and major equipment are treated as a stage of R&D. For reporting R&D

Facilities and Major Equipment, include the following:

● Construction of facilities that are necessary for the execution of an R&D program. This may

include land, major fixed equipment, and supporting infrastructure such as a sewer line, or housing

at a remote location. Many laboratory buildings will include a mixture of R&D facilities and office

space. The fraction of the building directly related to the conduct of R&D may be calculated as a

percentage of the building’s total square footage.

● Acquisition, design, or production of major movable equipment, such as mass spectrometers,

research vessels, DNA sequencers, and other movable major instruments for use in R&D

activities. Programs of $1 million or more that are devoted to the purchase or construction of R&D

major equipment (see OMB Circular A-11, Section 84.3(a)).

Exclude:

● Construction of other facilities, such as office space

● Minor Equipment purchases, such as personal computers, standard microscopes, and simple

spectrometers. This should be reported using a product PSC code.

PSC Manual: Section B: IT Service Codes Page 16

Section B: IT Service Codes

There are 40 new IT PSCs to replace 68 existing IT PSCs. The proposed structure is modeled after industry best

practices for IT Financial Management and IT Spending Transparency standards, including the Technology

Business Management (TBM) Framework, but tailored for Federal Government acquisition needs.

The new schema for the IT PSCs supports OMB Circular A-11 Section 55 IT Investments by creating a

methodology that allows agencies to capture and report more granular cost data, in alignment with the IT Capital

Planning Guidance document as specified with the A-11. The 2021 Guidance document implements the final phase

of adopting IT Financial Management standards requiring cost reporting by pre-defined groups of underlying

technologies, referred to as “IT Towers” (Capital Planning and Guidance Document, page 8, line 132, and section

7.5 - IT Towers, page 27, lines 371-376). This proposal leverages the use of those IT Towers, which is designed to

be inclusive of all IT services and products; there should be no use cases (with existing technologies) that fall

outside the scope of the current standard. However, there is flexibility in the coding scheme to accommodate

emerging technologies as they arrive and retire old ones as they become obsolete.

The Category 1 scheme reuses the first digit “D” to indicate IT Service Categories, and “7-” to indicate IT Product

Groups.

The second digit represents the Major Area (Technology Resource/IT Tower), with digits 3 and 4 to indicate the

Sub-Major area. The second digit for both D and 7 is letter-based so that it can represent each of the 10 Major

Technology Resources/IT Towers; letters A through K. Note that the letter “I” is not used to avoid confusion with

the number “1”. This ensures that there is no possibility of conflicting with any existing “D” or “7” series number

scheme as they all have numbers as their second digit. This also allows for growth in that there are another 15 letters

available for new categories or new groups.

The 3rd and 4th digits allow for up to 99 Sub-Major elements using just numerals, or up to 1,296 using

alphanumeric (36^

), to be added as new technologies emerge, which provides for a flexible and dynamic numbering

system.

The coding scheme represents a compromise between acknowledging legacy systems that still need to be tracked,

while embracing newer technologies like Cloud-based services.

The structure is depicted below. In this example, DA10 represents the PSC for acquiring Business Software as a

Service (SaaS) via a cloud service contract (term, subscription), while the second represents a PSC for purchasing

Business Software via a license agreement (perpetual).

group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that

name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or

assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes

indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one

class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name

CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an

application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class

5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an

item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in

some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in

the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this

group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed
