PSC 3030

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. government classifies what it buys, enabling consistent reporting and analysis across procurement systems. PSCs are recorded on contract actions (e.g., in FPDS) and are required on contract line items under the FAR; the code set is governed through the PSC Manual maintained on Acquisition.gov. ¹

3030 covers “Belting, Drive Belts, Fan Belts, and Accessories” within the broader mechanical power transmission family. Agencies apply this code when the predominant items purchased are belts/belting and associated accessories, as reflected in official PSC listings and Federal Register references. ²

What this PSC covers

• Belting used for mechanical power transmission in industrial and vehicular applications. ²
• Drive belts for machinery and engine systems where belts transmit rotational power. ²
• Fan belts associated with equipment and vehicle cooling systems. ²
• Accessories integral to belting and belt installations (e.g., components intended for use with belts/belting). Not specified by official sources ¹
• Items classified under Federal Supply Group 30 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment). ⁴
• Related, but separately classified items—such as gears, pulleys, sprockets, and transmission chain—are under 3020. ³

DoD coordinated acquisition assignment

Contract data and reporting notes

The FAR requires each line item or subline item to include a PSC as a distinct data element, which drives consistent recording in procurement systems and enables downstream reporting (e.g., in FPDS). Agencies should select the PSC that reflects the predominant item purchased. ⁵
