PSC 2895

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to identify the products, services, and R&D it buys. Agencies assign a PSC to each contract action reported in FPDS, enabling consistent classification for visibility, spending analysis, and reporting across government. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs maintenance and use of these codes. ¹

PSC 2895 is defined in Federal Supply Group 28 (Engines, Turbines, and Components) as “Miscellaneous Engines and Components,” with an explicit inclusion for wind engines and compressed air engines. In FPDS, 2895 is selected when the predominant deliverable aligns with this description and when a more specific engine class in FSG 28 does not apply. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Wind engines used as prime movers (mechanical power derived from wind). ¹
• Compressed air engines (air-driven prime movers) and their components. ¹
• Components for wind and compressed air engines when not otherwise classified as engine accessories in Group 29. ¹
• A “miscellaneous” catch‑all within FSG 28 for engine items not otherwise covered by specific engine/turbine PSCs. ¹
• Additional inclusions beyond wind and compressed air engines: Not specified by official sources. ³

Type	Code	Descriptor

PSC	2850	Gasoline Rotary Engines and Components
PSC	2990	Miscellaneous Engine Accessories, Nonaircraft

Inclusions, boundaries, and classification notes

• PSC 2895 explicitly includes wind and compressed air engines; it does not enumerate additional examples. ¹
• Aircraft prime‑mover engines and components are classified in 2810 (gasoline reciprocating, aircraft) and 2840 (gas/jet engines, aircraft), not in 2895. ¹
• Engine accessories are grouped separately in FSG 29; non‑aircraft accessories use 2990, and aircraft/guided‑missile accessories use 2995. ¹
• The PSC Manual instructs contracting personnel to code based on the predominant product when multiple items appear on one action. ¹

DoD coordinated acquisition assignment (context)

DFARS PGI 208.7006 lists Federal Supply Class 2895 “Miscellaneous Engines and Components” under Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime (DSCC), for coordinated acquisition assignments, indicating DLA’s lead role for this commodity class within DoD. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does PSC 2895 include?
  PSC 2895 is the “Miscellaneous Engines and Components” class within FSG 28 and specifically includes wind engines and compressed air engines. The PSC Manual does not list further examples; items not fitting other specific FSG 28 classes may fall here when appropriate. ¹

• How is PSC 2895 different from PSC 2990?
  PSC 2895 covers engine types and their components (e.g., wind and compressed air engines). Engine accessories are classified in Group 29—use PSC 2990 for non‑aircraft engine accessories and PSC 2995 for aircraft/guided‑missile accessories. ¹

• Does PSC 2895 apply to aircraft engines?
  No. Aircraft engine classes are separate: PSC 2810 covers gasoline reciprocating aircraft engines/components, and PSC 2840 covers aircraft gas/jet engines/components. Use those aircraft‑specific classes rather than 2895. ¹

• How should mixed deliverables be coded when 2895‑type items are part of a larger buy?
  Code to the predominant product or service on the action. If the principal deliverable is a miscellaneous engine (e.g., wind or compressed air engine), use PSC 2895; otherwise, code to the class matching the predominant item on the award. ¹

• Which organization leads DoD coordinated acquisition for 2895 items?
  DFARS PGI 208.7006 assigns FSC/PSC 2895 to DLA Land and Maritime (DSCC) for coordinated acquisition, indicating DLA’s lead role for this commodity within DoD. ²
