PSC 7710

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify what is being bought so spending can be tracked, analyzed, and reported consistently in systems such as FPDS. PSCs and their definitions are maintained in the PSC Manual published on Acquisition.gov, which is the authoritative source for scope, inclusions, and exclusions across product and service classes. ¹

PSC 7710 is the product class for Musical Instruments within Federal Supply Group (FSG) 77. The PSC Manual specifies that 7710 covers only complete musical instruments as end items. Assemblies, parts, attachments, and accessories are coded elsewhere, and phonographs, radios, and television sets are excluded to other FSG 77 classes. This code is used when the predominant deliverable is a finished instrument, not component pieces or consumer audio/visual devices. ¹

FPDS coding considerations

• Select PSC 7710 when the predominant item in the action is a complete musical instrument; apply the predominant product rule if multiple items are present. ¹
• Report environmental attributes in FPDS data element 8L only if applicable to the predominant product; FPDS does not validate attribute applicability to the selected PSC. ¹

DoD and agency taxonomy context

• Within FSG 77 (Musical Instruments, Phonographs, and Home-Type Radios), PSC 7710 is listed alongside 7720, 7730, and 7740 in DFARS PGI materials that enumerate product classes. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 7710 include, and how is it different from PSC 7720? PSC 7710 covers only complete musical instruments. PSC 7720 covers parts and accessories such as instrument cases, music stands, and tuning forks. Use 7710 when the principal deliverable is a finished instrument; otherwise, use 7720 for parts/accessories. ¹

• When should an award use PSC 7710 instead of PSC 7730? Use PSC 7710 when the deliverable is a complete instrument. PSC 7730 covers complete home-type phonographs, radios, and television sets; those items are expressly excluded from 7710 and should be coded to 7730. ¹

• How should mixed buys of instruments and accessories be coded in FPDS? Apply the predominant product rule: choose the PSC that reflects the principal deliverable. If the award is primarily complete instruments, use 7710; if primarily accessories, use 7720. Document the rationale in award notes when helpful. ¹

• Does PSC 7710 cover maintenance or repair of instruments? No. PSC 7710 is a product code for end items. Instrument maintenance or repair is a service and should be coded under an appropriate service PSC; specific service-code mapping is not specified by official sources. Not specified by official sources ².

• Are sustainability attributes reported for PSC 7710 items? Agencies may report environmental attributes in FPDS data element 8L (for example, energy efficient, biobased, environmentally preferable) when applicable to the predominant product. FPDS does not validate attribute applicability against the selected PSC. ¹
