PSC 6740

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify the products, services, and R&D the U.S. federal government buys, supporting reporting and analysis in systems such as the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). PSC definitions and updates are governed by the PSC Manual maintained on Acquisition.gov, which serves as the authoritative source for scope, inclusions, and exclusions across all PSC groups and classes. ¹

PSC 6740 is the product class for Photographic Developing and Finishing Equipment. The PSC Manual specifies that it includes editing equipment, enlargers, driers, pressers, printers, and washers used to develop and finish photographic materials. This class sits within Group 67 (Photographic Equipment), which covers specialized hardware used in imaging workflows and is distinct from photographic supplies and from processed media. ¹
