PSC H139

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a uniform federal taxonomy used to classify the goods and services acquired by the U.S. government for procurement, reporting, and analysis. PSC codes help contracting officers and data systems identify what is being purchased so spending can be tracked and reported consistently across agencies. (acquisition.gov)

In federal procurements it is used as the PSC data element on solicitations, contracts, and FPDS reports when the primary requirement is quality control, inspection, testing, or certification related to materials handling equipment; detailed scope language and assignment practices are maintained in the official PSC Manual. Specific task lists and technical boundaries for H139 are Not specified by official sources. (acquisition.gov)
