PSC G006

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a uniform classification system the U.S. federal government uses to identify and record the types of products and services purchased through federal contracting. PSC codes classify the primary good or service procured on each contract action, which supports consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis of government spending. (login.acquisition.gov)

PSC G006 is listed in the federal PSC Manual as "Social- Government Life Insurance Programs" and is used to classify contract actions whose predominant purpose is related to government life‑insurance program activities. The PSC Manual provides the code name and placement within the Social (Category G) group but does not provide detailed scope language beyond the short title. (login.acquisition.gov)
