PSC 3770

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a government-wide taxonomy for classifying the goods and services procured by U.S. agencies. PSCs are applied to contract actions to identify what was purchased, supporting consistent reporting, spend analysis, and oversight across procurement systems. The PSC structure and usage are maintained through the Product and Service Codes Manual. ¹

Within this structure, 3770 identifies “SADDLERY, HARNESS, WHIPS, AND RELATED ANIMAL FURNISHINGS.” It is used when the predominant deliverables are animal tack and related gear; for Department of Defense coordinated acquisition assignments, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (DSCP) is listed as the managing center for this Federal Supply Class. ²

What this PSC covers

• Saddlery and tack intended for working, pack, or riding animals. ²
• Harnesses and bridles for draft, transport, or riding applications. ²
• Whips and animal-handling gear associated with saddlery and harness. ²
• Related animal furnishings intended for use with saddlery or harness. ²
• Products (not services) coded under a product PSC for FPDS reporting when they are the predominant items acquired. ¹
• Specific inclusions and exclusions beyond the official descriptor: Not specified by official sources. ⁵

• Where does PSC 3770 appear in federal reporting?

  • PSCs are captured in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) as data element 8A, enabling standardized reporting and spend analysis across agencies. Contracting officers must enter the PSC that best reflects the predominant deliverable for the action. ³

• Are there environmental or biobased reporting requirements tied to PSC 3770?
