PSC H311
Overview
The Product Service Code (PSC) is the federal classification system used to label goods and services in government procurement records, support standardized reporting in FPDS and SAM, and enable consistent spend and category analysis across agencies. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative listing of PSC entries, includes grouping and “Includes/Excludes” text, and is the basis for FPDS reporting and validation. 1
The PSC H311 — INSPECTION- NUCLEAR ORDNANCE — classifies inspection services and related commercial testing/laboratory activities specific to nuclear ordnance; the Manual places H311 within the H3 inspection grouping used for weapons- and ordnance-related inspection work and supplies the official inclusion/exclusion language. 1

Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What is the authoritative source for H311 definitions and inclusion/exclusion language?
A: The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source for H311 and provides the official “Includes” and “Excludes” language and grouping for inspection and testing PSCs. 1 -
Q: When should H311 be used instead of H211 or H911?
A: Use H311 when the primary requirement is inspection services specifically for nuclear ordnance; H211 covers equipment/materials testing and H911 covers other quality-control/testing/inspection variants, per PSC Manual groupings. 1 -
Q: Is a NAICS code required alongside H311 in FPDS submissions?
A: Yes. FPDS requires a principal NAICS code in addition to the PSC; the PSC identifies the kind of service while NAICS indicates the industry classification used for reporting and analytics. 2
