PSC 8325

Overview

The Product and Service Code (PSC) is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. government uses to classify what is purchased in federal procurement, enabling consistent reporting and analysis in systems such as the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). The PSC Manual, maintained on Acquisition.gov, provides code definitions and usage guidance for contracting and data reporting. ¹

PSC 8325 — Fur Materials — is a product code in Federal Supply Group 83 covering fur materials in bulk form. Official scope notes state that items cut or preformed for a specific application are excluded and should be classified with the end item’s class; included examples are crosses, sacs, fur plates, and fur mats. ²

DoD coordinated acquisition assignment

Under DFARS PGI 208.7006 coordinated acquisition assignments, FSC 8325 is assigned to the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (now DLA Troop Support) as the integrated materiel manager for this class. ³

FPDS reporting notes

The PSC is reported in FPDS element 8A and should reflect the predominant product in the action; environmental attributes (when applicable) are recorded under element 8L. For supply buys primarily consisting of bulk fur materials, agencies use PSC 8325 to classify the product portion. ¹

Classification boundary with clothing PSCs

PSC 8325 covers bulk materials only. Finished garments and accessories (including those made with fur) fall under Group 84 clothing classes (e.g., outerwear or special-purpose clothing), not under 83’s bulk-material classes. ²

Frequently asked questions
