PSC 7670

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy for classifying what the federal government buys. Agencies tag contract actions with PSCs in FPDS/SAM to enable consistent categorization, analysis, and reporting; the taxonomy and usage guidance are maintained in the PSC Manual issued on Acquisition.gov. ¹

The PSC Manual lists 7670 within Section D (Product Codes) of Group 76. ¹
