PSC 1310

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system classifies the goods and services the U.S. government buys so contracting data can be tracked, analyzed, and reported across systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov maintains these standardized codes and their official definitions, which agencies apply on contract actions to ensure consistent reporting and analytics across datasets.¹

PSC 1310 covers “Ammunition, over 30mm up to 75mm.” In Department of Defense (DoD) coordinated acquisition, these items are procured as listed in Department of the Army supply manuals/catalogs, with the Army carrying specific responsibilities; Naval ordnance types and 40mm ammunition are noted exceptions in assignment policy. This code helps distinguish medium‑caliber ammunition buys from adjacent PSCs that cover smaller and larger calibers.²
