PSC H332

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies goods and services procured by federal agencies. PSCs label contract line items in systems such as FPDS and SAM to enable spend analysis, standardize reporting, and support procurement category assignments; the codes and definitions are maintained in the PSC Manual.¹

The Product Service Code H332 — Inspection — Woodworking Machinery and Equipment — identifies inspection and inspection‑type services for woodworking machinery and related equipment. Official PSC entries place H332 within the H (inspection/testing/quality-control) family and associate it with commercial testing and laboratory services language in the PSC Manual.¹

What this PSC covers

• Inspection services for industrial woodworking machines.
• Functional checks and acceptance inspections of saws, planers, sanders, and related equipment.
• Verification of safety guards, interlocks, and machine controls.
• Measurement and calibration of machine settings and tolerances.
• Non-medical laboratory or commercial testing related to woodworking equipment.
• Reporting, documentation, and test certificates resulting from inspection activities.¹

Acquisition notes

• Use of PSCs in award and reporting systems: contracting officers must select the PSC that best identifies the product or service procured; FPDS requires a valid PSC from the PSC Manual for each reported line item.²
• PSC H332 falls within the government product service groups (PSGs) related to woodworking machinery and equipment; trade-agreement coverage and PSG assignments are referenced for applicability determinations in acquisition policy (DFARS/part 225 PSG listings and related guidance).⁴

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should H332 be selected on a contract?

  • A: Select H332 when the primary line-item service is inspection of woodworking machinery and equipment, including acceptance or functional inspections and associated testing; use the PSC that best represents the primary deliverable or majority of contract value.²

• Q: Does H332 cover repair or maintenance work?

  • A: No. Maintenance, repair, and rebuild work are captured under maintenance/repair PSCs (for example, the J032 series for machinery); the PSC Manual separates inspection (H-series) from maintenance/repair service codes.¹

• Q: Which NAICS codes commonly align with H332 opportunities?

  • A: Opportunities involving manufacturing or servicing of woodworking machinery commonly align with NAICS 333210 (Sawmill and Woodworking Machinery Manufacturing) and related machinery NAICS; contracting officers assign NAICS based on the acquisition’s primary industrial classification.³

• Q: Are medical or dental laboratory services included under H332 inspections?

  • A: No. H-series inspection entries, including H332, explicitly exclude medical and dental laboratory services; commercial testing and lab services associated with equipment inspection are included instead.¹
