PSC H932

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify goods and services in procurement records. PSCs appear in systems such as FPDS and SAM to enable spend tracking, analysis, and reporting. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov provides code definitions, assignment guidance, and maintenance procedures used by contracting officers and data stewards to ensure consistent classification across agencies. ¹

The PSC entry H932 is defined in the PSC Manual as “Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection — Woodworking Machinery and Equipment.” It is applied when the primary effort purchased is inspection, testing, acceptance, or other quality‑control activity specific to woodworking machinery and related equipment rather than procurement, repair, or installation of the equipment itself. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Quality‑control planning and execution specific to woodworking production lines and individual woodworking machines, where the deliverable is inspection or test results rather than parts or consumables. ¹
• Acceptance testing and performance verification of saws, planers, routers, jointers, and similar woodworking equipment to validate conformance with contract or safety requirements. ¹
• Non‑destructive inspection, diagnostic testing, and condition assessments for machine components such as gearboxes, spindles, and cutting heads. ¹
• Calibration, functional testing, and verification of machine controls, guards, sensors, and safety interlocks where the scope is test/inspection rather than repair. ¹
• Delivery of inspection reports, test data, conformity assessments, and recommendations tied to woodworking machinery equipment. ¹

Contracting context

Agencies typically assign H932 when the procurement emphasis is on independent or third‑party QC, testing, or inspection services rather than on acquiring or maintaining the machines themselves. The PSC Manual groups H932 with other H‑series QC/testing service codes, and selecting the correct H‑block code depends on the specific equipment family and whether the work is inspection/testing versus maintenance or installation. Contract writers should document the primary CLIN objective to justify use of H932 in FPDS entries. ¹

Common procurement activities

• Solicitation and award of inspection plans, on‑site acceptance testing, witnessed performance checks, and delivery of compliance test reports for woodworking machinery. ¹
• Task orders and stand‑alone contracts for recurring QC/test/inspection support at government workshops, field sites, or supplier facilities where the contractor’s deliverable is testing data and certification of conformity. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should a contracting officer select PSC H932 rather than a supply PSC for woodworking equipment?
  A: Use H932 when the contract line item’s principal purpose is quality‑control, testing, or inspection services for woodworking machinery. If the line item is primarily for purchase of the machine or spare parts, select the appropriate supply PSC instead. ¹

• Q: Does H932 cover routine maintenance or repair of woodworking machines?
  A: No. H932 covers QC/test/inspection tasks. Routine maintenance, repair, rebuild, or modification typically map to J‑, K‑, or other service PSC categories, not H932. Consult the PSC Manual for edge‑case guidance. ¹

• Q: Are suggested NAICS mappings provided for H932?
  A: The PSC Manual provides selection guidance but does not publish a definitive one‑to‑one NAICS mapping for every PSC; agency selection tools or internal guidance may recommend related NAICS codes during award entry. ¹

• Q: Where can contracting staff verify that a QC/test/inspection requirement aligns with H932?
  A: Check the PSC Manual definitions on Acquisition.gov and use agency selection tools such as the PSC Tool to confirm definitions and common practice; review FPDS records of comparable awards for usage examples. ¹
