PSC 1346

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a governmentwide taxonomy that classifies what the U.S. federal government buys, enabling standardized reporting and analysis in procurement systems such as FPDS and aligning guidance maintained in the PSC Manual. Agencies select the PSC that best represents the predominant item or service purchased to support consistent tracking and transparency. ¹

PSC 1346 — Remote Munitions — covers munition items and systems that are emplaced for later activation rather than carried by the soldier. Per the PSC Manual, these systems can be delivered mechanically from vehicles or aircraft, may be command-controlled or self-initiated, and can be armed or disarmed remotely. Included are remote munition items and systems, fuzes, safe-and-arming devices, self-destruction mechanisms, communications modules, and command-and-control components. ²

Coding guidance highlights

• Enter the PSC in FPDS element 8A and choose the code based on the predominant product in the action. ²
• Environmental attributes, when applicable, are reported in FPDS element 8L; agencies should exercise care to select attributes that truly apply. ²
• 1346 is a product code (Section D: Product Codes) and should not be used to classify services. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 1346 include?
  It includes emplaced or mechanically distributed munitions that can be command-controlled or self-initiated, along with related fuzes, safe-and-arming devices, self-destruct mechanisms, communications modules, and command-and-control components. The defining feature is remote arming/disarming capability. ²

• How is PSC 1346 different from PSC 1345?
  1345 covers land mines and their components, whereas 1346 covers remote munitions emplaced for later activation with remote arming/disarming; delivery and control methods define 1346’s scope. ²

• Are specific models (e.g., named systems) identified for 1346?
  The PSC Manual provides scope statements (description, notes, inclusions) but does not list specific model names. Not specified by official sources ¹.

• Can services be coded under 1346?
  No. 1346 is in Section D (Product Codes). Services should be coded under the appropriate Service PSCs; use 1346 only when the principal purpose is a product within the remote munitions class. ²

• What FPDS fields are most relevant when coding 1346?
  Use FPDS element 8A for the PSC selection and element 8L for applicable environmental attributes, following PSC Manual guidance to code the predominant product accurately. ²
