PSC 6110

Overview

Product and Service Codes (PSCs) are a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses in FPDS and related acquisition systems to classify what agencies buy, enabling consistent spend tracking, analysis, and reporting. The PSC Manual maintained on acquisition.gov governs the structure, definitions, and updates to these product and service codes. ¹

PSC 6110 covers electrical control equipment. The PSC Manual specifies this class includes items such as contactors, motor controllers/starters, power servomechanisms, switchgear, motor control centers, and voltage regulators; it excludes automatic pilot mechanisms, relays, and resistors. Agencies select PSC 6110 when these control devices are the predominant products purchased. ²

What this PSC covers

• Industrial and utility switchgear assemblies used for power control and distribution. ²
• Motor starters, motor controllers, and contactors for AC/DC motors. ²
• Power servomechanisms and associated control units. ²
• Voltage regulation devices and regulator control equipment. ²
• Motor control centers and panelboard-based control systems. ²
• Protective and control components integral to electrical control systems, when purchased as control equipment. ²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type	Code	Descriptor
PSC	6105	Motors, Electrical
PSC	6115	Generators and Generator Sets, Electrical
PSC	6120	Transformers; Distribution and Power Station
PSC	6150	Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment

Adjacent scopes and common exclusions

• Boundary with 6105: PSC 6110 covers the control equipment; the motors themselves fall under 6105. ²
• Boundary with 6115: Generator sets and generators are classified in 6115, not as control equipment in 6110. ²
• Boundary with 6120: Transformers and power station distribution equipment are in 6120; 6110 covers the control/switching functions. ²
• Boundary with 6150: Miscellaneous power and distribution items that are not control equipment belong in 6150. ²
• Explicit exclusions: automatic pilot mechanisms, relays, and resistors are not within PSC 6110. ²

DoD coordinated acquisition note

Under DFARS PGI 208.7006 coordinated acquisition assignments, PSC 6110 (Electrical Control Equipment) is assigned to DSCR (Defense Supply Center Richmond/DLA), indicating DoD supply responsibility for this commodity class. ³

FPDS and environmental reporting notes

When PSC 6110 is the predominant product, agencies report it in FPDS element 8A and, when applicable, select environmental attributes in element 8L (e.g., energy efficient, biobased, or environmentally preferable) per the PSC Manual’s reporting guidance. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What items typically fall under PSC 6110? Electrical control equipment such as switchgear, motor controllers/starters, contactors, power servomechanisms, motor control centers, and voltage regulators are within scope when bought as end items or major assemblies. These items are listed as inclusions for this class. ²

• What is explicitly excluded from PSC 6110? Automatic pilot mechanisms, relays, and resistors are excluded and should be coded under their appropriate PSCs rather than PSC 6110. ²

• How are installation or repair services for 6110 equipment coded? Services are coded under service PSCs (e.g., Category J for maintenance/repair or Category N for installation), not under the product code PSC 6110. Select the service PSC that corresponds to the service being procured. ²

• Who holds DoD acquisition responsibility for FSC/PSC 6110 items? DFARS PGI coordinated acquisition assignments place PSC 6110 under DSCR, designating DoD supply responsibility through DLA for this commodity. ³

• Is there an official NAICS one-to-one mapping for PSC 6110? Not specified by official sources. ¹
