PSC 3422

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a uniform taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify what is being bought so spending can be tracked, analyzed, and reported across systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC list is governed through the PSC Manual maintained on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC 3422 is a product class in Federal Supply Group 34 (Metalworking Machinery) titled “Rolling Mills and Drawing Machines.” Agencies use this code in FPDS when the predominant item purchased is rolling-mill equipment or metal drawing machines. Detailed subclass “Includes/Excludes” notes for 3422 are: Not specified by official sources. ²

Coding boundaries within Group 34

• Use 3424 when the predominant buy is heat treating or non-thermal stress-relieving equipment rather than rolling/drawing machines. ¹
• Use 3426 when the predominant buy is metal finishing equipment (e.g., galvanizing, pickling, anodizing). ¹
• Welding equipment is classified under 3431, 3432, or 3433, not 3422. ¹

Services vs. products for metalworking machinery

• Maintenance, repair, or rebuild services for rolling/drawing equipment should use J034; modifications should use K034. ¹
• Leasing or renting rolling/drawing equipment uses W034; 3422 remains for product purchases. ¹

FPDS reporting notes

• Enter the PSC in FPDS element 8A based on the predominant product on the action; mixed buys are coded to the dominant item, which for this class would be rolling/drawing machinery. ¹
• Environmental attribute reporting (element 8L) applies to products where relevant; selection follows the PSC Manual’s definitions and examples. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 3422 cover?

  • It is the Group 34 product class titled “Rolling Mills and Drawing Machines.” Agencies select it in FPDS for actions where rolling or drawing machinery is the predominant product on the award. ¹

• How should accessories or parts be coded?

  • The PSC Manual provides separate classes for accessories and tooling, including 3460 (Machine Tool Accessories) and 3461 (Accessories for Secondary Metalworking Machinery). Use those where accessories, not full machines, are the predominant buy. ¹

• Are lease or rental buys for rolling/drawing machinery coded under 3422?

  • No. Lease/rental of metalworking machinery is coded under W034. Use 3422 for product procurements, not leases. ¹

• Does the PSC Manual list detailed “Includes/Excludes” for 3422?

  • Not specified by official sources. The Manual lists the title “Rolling Mills and Drawing Machines” without additional subclass notes for 3422. ²

• What if the action is for repair services on rolling mills?

  • Use J034 for maintenance, repair, or rebuilding of metalworking machinery; do not use the product code 3422 for services. ¹
