PSC H210

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies products and services acquired by the U.S. federal government. PSCs are reported on contract actions in FPDS and SAM to indicate what was purchased; the system and supporting guidance are published on acquisition.gov.¹

The PSC code listed as H210 — Equipment and Materials Testing- Weapons — appears in the PSC Manual under Category H2 (Equipment and Materials Testing). The Manual records the code and formal title but does not provide a detailed scope or expanded entry for H210.²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual provides the H210 code and title but does not publish an official, prescriptive PSC-to-NAICS crosswalk or a mandatory list of NAICS pairings for H210; agencies select NAICS codes appropriate to the work when reporting in FPDS.²

Reporting and FPDS usage

• PSCs are the field used in FPDS reports to describe “what” was bought; agencies must report the applicable PSC(s) on each contract action so federal spending can be tracked by product/service category.¹
• The PSC Manual groups H210 under Category H2 (Equipment and Materials Testing), which agencies reference when selecting an appropriate PSC for weapons-related testing actions.²
