PSC 9340

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is the U.S. government’s standard taxonomy for categorizing what is bought in federal procurements, supporting classification across systems (e.g., FPDS) and enabling consistent spend analysis and reporting. The PSC Manual on acquisition.gov defines PSC structure, intent, and usage for recording contract actions. PSC 9340 is a product-class code within Group 93 (Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials). It covers fabricated glass materials and specifies inclusions and exclusions to ensure accurate coding when the predominant item on an award is glass materials rather than finished equipment. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Glass rods, bars, and tubing used as fabricated material inputs. ¹
• Optical glass blanks (non‑ophthalmic) for further finishing. ¹
• Structural and building glass, including panels/sheets for architectural use. ¹
• Glass blocks (e.g., masonry units). ¹
• Boundary note: excludes insulators coded under 5970. ¹
• Boundary note: excludes ophthalmic glass blanks coded under 6540. ¹

Coding boundaries and selection notes

• PSC 9340 is a product code in Section D of the PSC Manual; selection should be based on the predominant item on the award (e.g., bulk fabricated glass materials rather than installed systems). ¹
• Group 93 distinguishes base material forms from end items; items specifically identified as insulators, ophthalmic glass blanks, or fiber‑optic cable should be coded to 5970, 6540, or 6015/6615 respectively. ¹

DoD materiel management assignment (context)

Within the DoD materiel management assignments, FSC 9340 is listed under the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (now DLA Troop Support). This indicates DLA’s assignment for supply management of nonmetallic fabricated materials in this class. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC 9340 include versus exclude?

  • PSC 9340 includes glass rods, bars, tubing, optical glass blanks (non‑ophthalmic), structural/building glass, and glass blocks. It excludes electrical insulators (5970), ophthalmic glass blanks (6540), and fiber‑optic cable classes (6015, 6615). ¹

• How is PSC 9340 used across federal systems?

  • PSCs are recorded in FPDS to indicate “what” was bought, and SAM.gov provides contract data search filters that include PSC selections, enabling market and spend analysis by code. ²

• Is PSC 9340 a product or a service classification?

  • It is a product PSC in Section D of the PSC Manual (Group 93 Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials). Use applies when the predominant supply is fabricated glass materials, not installation services or finished equipment. ¹

• Which organization manages DoD supply responsibility for 9340?

  • DoD’s materiel management assignments list FSC 9340 under DSCP (DLA Troop Support), indicating responsibility for this class within DLA’s supply portfolio. ³

• How should mixed-material buys be coded when glass and other materials are present?

  • The PSC Manual instructs coding by the predominant product on the award; select 9340 only when fabricated glass materials are the primary item. ¹
