PSC 1410

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify what the U.S. federal government buys, supporting consistent reporting, analytics, and spend transparency. PSCs are maintained through the official PSC Manual and are used for contract action reporting in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). ¹
PSC 1410 is the product code for complete guided missiles. Per the PSC Manual, it covers finished guided missiles, with or without warheads, whether assembled or unassembled; drones initially designed as missiles and converted to drone use; and complete guided missile air‑launch decoys. Missile components, subsystems, launchers, and handling/servicing equipment are assigned to adjacent classes in PSC Group 14, not to 1410. ²

What this PSC covers

• Complete guided missiles, with or without warheads, in assembled or unassembled form. ²
• Missiles incorporating mechanisms that alter normal flight paths (e.g., guided flight). ²
• Complete guided missile air‑launch decoys. ²
• Drones initially designed as missiles but converted to drone use (complete items). ²
• Guided bombs that have been converted to guided missiles by adding propulsion (when procured as complete missiles). ²
• Procurement where the end item is the finished guided missile rather than a component, subsystem, or support item. ²

Scope boundaries and exclusions

• Components and accessories for use in or on guided missiles (e.g., structural parts, installed electronic guidance equipment) are coded under 1420, not 1410. ²
• Complete guided missile systems are coded 1425; combinations of multiple end items as subsystems are coded 1427. ²
• Remote control systems designed for guided missiles are coded 1430; launchers are coded 1440; handling/servicing equipment is coded 1450. ²
• Group‑level exclusions include rocket parts, nuclear‑warhead‑exclusive sections, and space vehicle nose cones/capsules designed for space research/travel. ²

NAICS context (informational)

• Manufacturing of complete guided missiles and space vehicles aligns to NAICS 336414; propulsion units/parts align to 336415; other guided missile/space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment align to 336419. This is industry context, not a formal PSC–NAICS crosswalk. ⁴

FPDS reporting notes

• For FPDS, select the PSC that best represents the predominant supplies/services on the award; use the principal NAICS that best represents the industry of the predominant portion. ³
• The official, active list of PSCs referenced by FPDS is maintained via the PSC Manual and related resources on Acquisition.gov. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 1410 include?
  PSC 1410 includes complete guided missiles, with or without warheads, whether assembled or unassembled. It also includes complete guided missile air‑launch decoys and drones originally designed as missiles that have been converted to drone use. Components and support items are excluded and coded elsewhere. ²

• How is PSC 1410 different from PSC 1420 or 1425?
  1410 covers the finished missile. 1420 covers missile components, while 1425 covers complete guided missile systems. Subsystems that combine multiple end items are coded 1427, and launchers are coded 1440. ²

• How should PSC 1410 be reported in FPDS?
  Report the PSC that best represents the predominant amount bought on the award and enter the principal NAICS that best reflects the industry of that predominant portion. Follow DFARS PGI 204.6 FPDS entry guidance to ensure accurate coding for both PSC and NAICS. ³

• Is there an official dataset or API for PSC information?
  Yes. GSA provides a public PSC API used by SAM.gov that returns authoritative PSC data (e.g., code, name, status, notes). Access and rate limits are governed by the API’s terms; consult the API documentation for key and usage requirements. ⁵

• Which NAICS industries commonly align with guided missile procurements?
  Manufacturing activities related to guided missiles typically fall under NAICS 336414, 336415, and 336419. Use these as market context rather than a formal crosswalk, and select the award’s principal NAICS based on the predominant work. ⁴
