PSC 5930
Overview
The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. government classifies products and services in federal procurement, enabling consistent reporting in FPDS and cross-agency spend analysis. The PSC structure, scope notes, and definitions are governed by the official PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov, which is the authoritative source for inclusions and exclusions across all classes. 1
PSC 5930 — SWITCHES — covers electrical switch devices used to open, close, or change the path of an electrical circuit. As defined in the PSC Manual, this class includes rotary, knife, toggle, push-button, mercury, thermostatic, and differential pressure switches. It expressly excludes switchgear (categorized under Electrical Control Equipment) and does not include fiber optic switches. Agencies should use 5930 when the procurement is principally for electrical switch hardware rather than protective devices or optical components. 1

DoD coordinated acquisition assignment
For Department of Defense coordinated acquisition, Federal Supply Class 5930 (Switches) is assigned to Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DSCC) as the acquiring activity, per DFARS PGI 208.7006 assignment tables. 3
Boundary guidance (common miscodes)
- Switchgear is not coded under 5930; use 6110 for Electrical Control Equipment, which explicitly includes switchgear. 1
- Optical line-selection components are not 5930; use 6021 for Fiber Optic Switches. 1
- Overcurrent protective devices (e.g., breakers) are not 5930; use 5925. 1
- Relay-driven control devices belong in 5945, not 5930. 1
Frequently asked questions
-
What exactly falls under PSC 5930? PSC 5930 includes electrical switches designed to start, stop, or redirect current flow, such as rotary, knife, toggle, push-button, mercury, thermostatic, and differential pressure types. It excludes switchgear and fiber optic switching devices, which are categorized under other PSCs. 1
-
How should fiber optic switching components be coded? Optical line-selection devices should be coded under 6021 (Fiber Optic Switches), not 5930. This distinction maintains separation between electrical switching hardware and optical communications components for accurate reporting and spend analysis. 1
-
Where should switchgear or motor control centers be classified? Switchgear is explicitly excluded from 5930 and is classified under 6110 (Electrical Control Equipment). Using 6110 aligns with the Manual’s inclusions for power distribution and control apparatus. 1
-
Who manages DoD coordinated buys for 5930? For coordinated acquisition, DLA Land and Maritime (DSCC) is designated as the acquiring activity for FSC 5930. This assignment is established in DFARS PGI 208.7006 tables and guides lead-buy responsibility within the Defense supply system. 3
-
Is there a service PSC for repair or overhaul of switches? Yes. Maintenance, repair, and rebuilding services for electrical and electronic equipment components, including switches, are coded under J059. Use J059 when the principal purpose is service rather than the supply of switch hardware. 1
