PSC H115

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify the goods and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to indicate “what” was bought for each contract action and are maintained through the PSC Manual and related government publications to support reporting, analysis, and category management. ¹

The PSC H115 — Quality Control- Aircraft and Airframe Structural Components — is the Service-category code used to identify contract actions whose predominant effort is quality control, inspection, or acceptance testing specifically focused on aircraft and airframe structural components. The code appears in the PSC Manual’s service listings and is used when the principal deliverable or activity reported in FPDS is quality-control services for aircraft structural items. ²

How this PSC is reported in FPDS

Agencies record the PSC in FPDS data element 8A (“Product or Service Code”); select H115 when the predominant contract effort is quality-control services for aircraft/airframe structural components. FPDS reporting guidance in the PSC Manual clarifies that the PSC chosen should reflect the primary product or service purchased when multiple items exist on an action. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When is H115 the appropriate PSC to report on a contract action?
  A: Use H115 when the predominant requirement is quality control, inspection, or acceptance testing specifically for aircraft or airframe structural components. If the contract’s primary effort is maintenance, manufacturing, or parts supply rather than quality-control services, select a different PSC per the PSC Manual. ²

• Q: Does H115 cover non‑destructive testing (NDT) of structures?
  A: The PSC title and service listing indicate quality-control services for aircraft structural components, which commonly include NDT methods when NDT is performed as the controlling quality‑assurance activity for structural acceptance. Consult the PSC Manual for the official listing. ²

• Q: Are there NAICS codes paired with H115 for solicitation drafting or set‑asides?
  A: The public PSC listings do not publish a mandatory NAICS‑to‑PSC crosswalk for this code; NAICS selection depends on the primary industry activity supporting the acquisition and should be determined per agency acquisition policy. Not specified by official sources. ¹
