PSC 1430

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. government classifies what it buys so spending can be tracked, analyzed, and reported consistently across systems such as FPDS and SAM.gov. The PSC Manual, maintained by GSA on Acquisition.gov, provides the authoritative definitions, scope notes, and exclusions that govern proper usage in federal procurement and reporting. ¹

PSC 1430 covers “Guided Missile Remote Control Systems.” Per the PSC Manual, this class includes airborne and nonairborne guided missile remote control systems, along with components and accessories designed specifically for those systems. It excludes fire control assemblies modified for missile use, shipboard fire control assemblies, internal (built‑in) missile control systems, and components used both in missile and non‑missile applications. These boundaries help distinguish PSC 1430 from related classes such as 1420 (components) and 1440 (launchers). ¹

What this PSC covers

• Airborne guided missile remote control systems designed specifically for controlling missiles from aircraft or air platforms; includes only items whose design intent is dedicated to such systems. ¹
• Nonairborne (e.g., ground or ship‑shore) guided missile remote control systems when not shipboard fire control assemblies; applies where the system is distinct from shipboard fire control. ¹
• Specially designed components integral to guided missile remote control systems, when not usable in non‑missile applications. ¹
• Accessories designed specifically for guided missile remote control systems, including dedicated support accessories unique to these systems. ¹
• Items are within scope only when design intent is specific to guided missile remote control systems; dual‑use components (missile and non‑missile) are excluded. ¹
• Internal (built‑in) missile control systems are not classified here and should be classified with the missile or relevant subsystem. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 1430 include and exclude?
  The manual states this class covers airborne and nonairborne guided missile remote control systems, their specially designed components, and accessories. It excludes fire control assemblies modified for missile use, shipboard fire control assemblies, internal missile control systems, and dual‑use components that serve both missile and non‑missile applications. ¹

• How is PSC 1430 different from PSC 1420 and PSC 1440?
  1420 covers guided missile components generally, and 1440 covers guided missile launchers. PSC 1430 focuses specifically on remote control systems for missiles and on parts/accessories that are uniquely designed for those systems. ¹

• Are test and checkout equipment for missile remote control systems part of PSC 1430?
  No. Specialized maintenance, repair, and checkout equipment for guided missiles and guided missile remote control systems is classified under 4935, not 1430. Always use the dedicated maintenance/test class for support equipment rather than operational system classes. ¹

• Where is PSC 1430 used in federal systems?
  SAM.gov’s Contract Data tools allow searching and filtering by PSC under “Product or Service Information,” enabling market research and reporting based on PSC selections. This supports consistent classification and analytics across federal award records. ² See also on G2X: https://app.g2xchange.com/psc/1430

• Is there an official NAICS crosswalk for PSC 1430?
  Not specified by official sources. ³
