PSC 6770

Overview

The U.S. government uses Product Service Codes (PSCs) to consistently categorize the products and services it buys. PSCs appear on contract actions in FPDS and support spending analysis, reporting, and category management. GSA maintains the taxonomy through the PSC Manual and related artifacts. ¹

PSC 6770 is defined as Film, Processed. It covers processed motion picture film (silent and sound) and processed still-picture film. It excludes X‑ray film (medical class 6525 or industrial class 6635), training and educational film (6910), and processed microfilm (7670). Agencies should use this code only when the requirement is for film that has completed photographic development; unprocessed film and other supplies fall under 6750. ²

What this PSC covers
