PSC H369

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services in procurement reporting. PSCs are recorded in FPDS to indicate what was purchased, support reporting and analysis of government spending, and are administered through the PSC Manual and related acquisition-management processes on acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC H369 — listed in the PSC Manual as "Inspection- Training Aids and Devices" — is a service PSC used to report inspection-related contract actions for training aids and devices. The PSC entry notes that it includes commercial testing and laboratory services associated with training devices and explicitly excludes medical and dental laboratory services. ¹

Contracting notes

• H369 is a service PSC (Section C in the PSC Manual) and should be selected in FPDS when inspection of training aids/devices is the predominant activity of the reported action. ¹
• The PSC Manual groups training-aid related product codes under Group 69; product-level purchases of training aids use product PSCs rather than H369 service coding. ¹
• Specific NAICS crosswalks for H369 are not listed in the PSC Manual; mapping to NAICS is determined at the agency or contract level and is not specified by the manual. Not specified by official sources. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly does PSC H369 classify?
  A: PSC H369 classifies inspection services specifically for training aids and devices; the manual notes inclusion of commercial testing and laboratory services and explicitly excludes medical and dental laboratory services. ¹

• Q: Where is the PSC recorded in federal reporting systems?
  A: The PSC is reported in FPDS as data element 8A; H369 should be used when inspection of training aids/devices is the predominant product or service being procured. ¹

• Q: Can H369 be used for procurement of training equipment (the physical items)?
