PSC 1125

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a governmentwide taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify the products and services it buys. Agencies assign PSCs in FPDS and SAM.gov to identify what is being procured, enabling consistent reporting, analytics, and category management; the taxonomy and usage guidance are maintained in the PSC Manual. ¹

PSC 1125 designates Nuclear Demolition Charges within Federal Supply Group 11 (Nuclear Ordnance). Official guidance states this class covers nuclear weapons intended to be emplaced in or near a structure, area, or similar target slated for destruction; the weapons may include accessories. It also includes outer cases, case sections, and other peculiar components not classifiable elsewhere. ²

• G2X — PSC 1145 (Explosive and Pyrotechnic Components, Nuclear Ordnance)

What this PSC covers

• Nuclear demolition weapons designed to be emplaced in or near a structure, area, or similar target to be destroyed. ²
• Accessories that may accompany such nuclear demolition weapons, when included with the item. ²
• Outer cases, case sections, and other peculiar components for nuclear demolition charges that are not classifiable elsewhere. ²
• Group 11 context: training weapons and specially designed simulators/mockups integral to nuclear ordnance, when not otherwise classified. ²
• Exclusions by classification: items covered more specifically in other nuclear ordnance classes (e.g., fuzing/firing devices, nuclear components) or conventional demolition materials are not coded under PSC 1125. ²

DoD coordinated acquisition assignment

Under DFARS PGI 208.7006 (Coordinated acquisition assignments), FSC/PSC classes in Group 11—including 1125—are assigned to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for coordinated acquisition responsibilities, along with related nuclear ordnance classes (1105, 1110, 1115, 1120, 1127, 1130, 1135, 1140, 1145, 1190, 1195). ³

Group 11 scope note

Group 11 explicitly includes nuclear ordnance training weapons, practice ballistic units, and specially designed simulators/mockups integral to those systems, unless specifically classified elsewhere. It excludes general purpose missile sections designed to carry non-nuclear payloads or used solely for aerodynamic configuration. ²

Frequently asked questions

• How is PSC 1125 different from PSC 1120 and PSC 1115?
  PSC 1125 covers emplaced nuclear demolition charges; PSC 1120 covers nuclear depth charges; PSC 1115 covers nuclear warheads/warhead sections used with bombs, rockets, missiles, projectiles, and demolition charges. ²

• Which DoD organization has coordinated acquisition responsibilities for PSC 1125 items?
  The DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information assign Group 11 nuclear ordnance classes—including 1125—to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for coordinated acquisition responsibilities. ³

• Does PSC 1125 cover conventional (non-nuclear) demolition charges?
  No. Conventional demolition materials (e.g., dynamite, blasting caps, detonating cord) are classified under PSC 1375, while PSC 1125 is limited to nuclear demolition charges. ²

• Is there an official NAICS crosswalk for PSC 1125?
