PSC 5620

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) system classifies what the U.S. government buys so contract actions can be consistently recorded in FPDS and related acquisition systems, supporting tracking, analysis, and reporting. The PSC structure and definitions are maintained by GSA through the official PSC Manual, which agencies reference when selecting the correct code. ²

PSC 5620 covers finished masonry and tile building materials. Per the PSC Manual, this class includes concrete building block, cinder block, slag brick, cut stone, cut and polished stone, ceramic floor and wall tile, architectural terra cotta, and concrete slabs and grilles. It explicitly excludes glass building block, which belongs in PSC 9340. ¹

Coding and reporting notes

• Select the PSC based on the predominant product on the action; PSC is entered in FPDS in data element 8A “Product or Service Code.” ¹
• Environmental attributes (e.g., energy efficient, biobased, environmentally preferable) are reported in FPDS data element 8L when applicable to the predominant product. ¹
• Classify glass building block under PSC 9340, not PSC 5620. ¹
• Nonmetallic drain tile and underground clay/concrete pipe fall under PSC 5630, not PSC 5620. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What products are included in PSC 5620?

  • PSC 5620 includes finished masonry and tile materials such as concrete block, cinder block, slag brick, cut and polished stone, ceramic floor and wall tile, architectural terra cotta, and concrete slabs and grilles. It covers finished units used in building construction, not bulk aggregates. ¹

• What items are excluded from PSC 5620?

  • Glass building block is excluded from PSC 5620 and should be classified in PSC 9340. Nonmetallic drain tile and underground clay/concrete pipe are within PSC 5630, reflecting their piping function rather than finished masonry units. ¹

• How is PSC 5620 used in FPDS or SAM.gov reporting?

  • The PSC identifies “what” was bought and is recorded in FPDS data element 8A. When relevant, environmental attributes for the predominant product are recorded in data element 8L. Agencies rely on the PSC Manual’s definitions to ensure consistent classification across awards. ¹

• Is there an official NAICS crosswalk for PSC 5620?

  • Not specified by official sources. The PSC Manual defines scope and examples, but it does not provide an authoritative NAICS mapping for PSC 5620. Users should select NAICS based on the principal nature of the vendor’s business and the specific requirement. ²

• Where can contracting teams confirm the correct PSC?

  • The PSC Manual at Acquisition.gov provides the authoritative definitions. The DoD DFARS PGI also directs users to the Product and Service Codes Manual when completing reporting artifacts, reinforcing Acquisition.gov as the source of truth for PSC selection. See also on G2X — PSC 5620. ⁴
