PSC H248

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) framework is the federal Government’s standardized classification system for goods and services procured through federal contracting. PSCs enable consistent reporting in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), support contracting and spend‑analytics workflows in SAM/FPDS, and are maintained and published through the Product and Service Code (PSC) Manual on Acquisition.gov.¹

PSC H248 is a four‑character equipment/service PSC used in federal procurement reporting to identify equipment and materials testing services specifically tied to valves. A definitive, line‑by‑line code description or formal PSC–NAICS crosswalk entry for H248 is not present in public PSC extracts or FPDS public listings; therefore the precise, granular definition for H248 is Not specified by official sources.²

What this PSC covers

• Valve performance testing and acceptance testing — Not specified by official sources.²
• Leak, pressure, hydrostatic and pneumatic testing of valves and valve assemblies — Not specified by official sources.²
• Non‑destructive evaluation (NDE) and visual inspection of valve components — Not specified by official sources.²
• Calibration and functional testing of actuators and control interfaces on valves — Not specified by official sources.²
• Test reporting, data logging, and quality‑control documentation for valve testing activities — Not specified by official sources.²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Official crosswalks or a verified list of NAICS and other PSC codes that map to H248 are not provided in publicly accessible sections of the PSC Manual or FPDS reference pages; therefore a verified crosswalk is Not specified by official sources.²

FPDS reporting and inventory considerations

• Equipment‑related PSCs (the H‑series) are referenced in DFARS/PGI reporting guidance for service‑contract inventory and SAM/FPDS reporting; agencies should select the PSC that best represents the predominant supply or service on an award, and the H‑series grouping and applicable ranges are described in PGI guidance.³
• The FPDS data element “Product or service code (PSC)” is the required field for contract reporting; contracting officers use the PSC Manual to determine appropriate coding, but specific H248 usage examples are not published on Acquisition.gov or in FPDS public listings.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the authoritative definition of PSC H248?
  A: The authoritative source is the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. Public PSC extracts and FPDS listings do not include a line‑by‑line definition for H248, so the precise text is Not specified by official sources.²

• Q: Which FPDS data element should be used for valve testing services?
  A: Use the FPDS “Product or service code (PSC)” element and select the PSC that best represents the predominant item or service. Equipment/testing acquisitions typically use an H‑series PSC; follow PGI/FAR/DFARS reporting guidance for inventory and coding decisions.³

• Q: Are there NAICS codes commonly paired with PSC H248?
  A: NAICS assignments depend on the contractor’s primary industry and the procurement’s scope. Official NAICS–PSC crosswalks specific to H248 are not published in the publicly available PSC extracts; consult agency coding guidance for case‑by‑case determinations.²

• Q: Where to find the official PSC Manual and authoritative PSC listings?
  A: The Product and Service Code (PSC) Manual is published on Acquisition.gov; contracting officers and analysts should consult the PSC Manual page and FPDS reference pages for the active PSC inventory and usage notes.¹
