PSC H267

PSC H267 — Equipment and Materials Testing — Photographic Equipment

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies procured products and services for reporting, analysis, and contract-data entry (used in FPDS/SAM) and is maintained via the PSC Manual published on Acquisition.gov. The PSC H267 — Equipment and Materials Testing‑ Photographic Equipment — identifies services for testing, evaluation, and related materials testing specifically tied to photographic equipment and associated photographic items. H267 sits within the broader H2 category (Equipment and Materials Testing) and is grouped with photographic product definitions that include specialized photographic test equipment and accessories. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What kinds of contract actions are typically coded to PSC H267?
  A: Contracts and task orders for laboratory testing, performance evaluation, acceptance testing, or bench testing of photographic hardware and related accessories are commonly coded to H267. The PSC Manual places H267 in the Equipment and Materials Testing category for photographic equipment. ¹

• Q: Is H267 the same as maintenance or repair of photographic equipment?
  A: No. Maintenance and repair are distinct PSC categories (for example, PSC J067). H267 is limited to testing, evaluation, and materials/equipment assessment rather than repair, overhaul, or rebuild services. ¹

• Q: Which NAICS would likely appear on an H267‑coded action?
  A: Principal NAICS depends on the supplier and scope; manufacturing NAICS such as 333315 (Photographic and Photocopying Equipment Manufacturing) describes an industry that produces photographic equipment but is not a direct PSC‑to‑NAICS crosswalk in the PSC Manual. For official NAICS details see the Census NAICS entry. ²

• Q: Does the PSC Manual list included/excluded items for photographic groupings?
  A: Yes. The manual’s Group 67 entries include example items (light meters, tripods, lenses, specialized test equipment) and note specific exclusions where relevant; consult the PSC Manual for product‑level includes and excludes. ¹
