PSC 6920

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) taxonomy is the U.S. government’s standard for classifying what agencies buy, enabling consistent reporting and analysis in systems such as FPDS and SAM. GSA maintains the PSC structure and definitions in the PSC Manual, which agencies use when recording contract actions. This ensures spending can be tracked by product or service type across the federal enterprise. ¹

PSC 6920 designates Armament Training Devices. Per the PSC Manual, this class covers training devices for weapons employment, including bombing and gunnery trainers, tow and gunnery targets, and guided missile training sets. It specifically excludes target drones; drones used for training, surveillance, missile evaluation, or reconnaissance; atomic ordnance training devices; classroom training aids; and any drill, dummy, exercise, practice, or simulated ammunition and weapons. ²

DoD coordinated acquisition note

Under DFARS PGI 208.70 coordinated acquisition, Federal Supply Class 6920 is partially assigned to the Army for armament training devices listed in Army catalogs SC 6910-ML and SC 6920-ML; the assignment explicitly does not apply to clay pigeons. This may affect sourcing strategies for DoD buys coded to PSC 6920. ³
