PSC 5133

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the U.S. government’s standard taxonomy for identifying what is being bought on federal contract actions. Agencies code each action so spending can be consistently tracked, analyzed, and reported across procurement systems; the codes are governed and updated through the official PSC Manual maintained on Acquisition.gov. ²

5133 is a product code in Federal Supply Group 51 (Hand Tools) titled “Drill Bits, Counterbores, and Countersinks: Hand and Machine.” In practice, it classifies procurements where the predominant deliverable is drill bits or related hole‑finishing cutters (counterbores, countersinks) intended for hand tools or machine tools. This is a product (not service) classification within Section D of the PSC Manual. ¹

Coding boundaries and common confusions

• Not a set/kit code: multi‑item hand‑tool sets are coded to 5180, not 5133. ¹
• Not power tools themselves: powered hand tools (e.g., drills) are coded to 5130; 5133 covers the bits and related cutters. ¹
• Related but different: thread‑forming/finishing tools such as taps, dies, and collets are in 5136, not 5133. ¹
• Apply the predominant‑item rule: assign the PSC that best represents the principal product being acquired on the action. ²
