PSC H319

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying goods and services in procurement records. PSC codes are used in FPDS and SAM reporting to identify the nature of acquisitions, support spend analysis, and enable consistent reporting; the PSC Manual is the official maintenance and descriptor document for PSC entries and assignment guidance.¹

PSC H319 covers inspection services specific to ships, small craft, pontoons, and floating docks and is listed in the PSC Manual under the H3 (Inspection) family; contracting officers and FPDS users apply this PSC when inspection is the primary deliverable for a contract action.²
