PSC H935

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a four-character taxonomy used across federal procurement to classify what is being bought, improving contract reporting, spend analysis, and category management. PSC entries are recorded in FPDS/SAM and maintained through the PSC Manual and associated government tools; the Manual and FPDS guidance describe PSC structure and intended use. ¹

PSC H935 — Other QC/TEST/INSPECT‑SERVICE AND TRADE EQUIPMENT — is the PSC applied where the primary deliverable is quality‑control, testing, inspection, or related certification services for service‑type and trade‑use equipment. Federal award records and FPDS examples show H935 used when inspection/testing services for equipment are the principal procurement outcome. ²

How agencies commonly record H935

• Agencies record PSCs in FPDS with the code that best represents the predominant good or service on the action; examples in FPDS show H935 on awards where inspection/testing services for service/trade equipment are the principal procurement outcome. ²
• The PSC Manual and FPDS guidance indicate that when multiple products or services are present, the selected PSC should reflect the largest share of contract value or the principal purpose of the acquisition. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly does H935 designate on a contract award?
  A: H935 designates “Other Quality Control/Testing/Inspection” where the primary acquisition is inspection, testing, or QC services for service and trade equipment; this is the standard PSC descriptor used in award reporting. ¹

• Q: When should H935 be selected for FPDS reporting?
  A: Use H935 when inspection/testing services for service‑ or trade‑use equipment constitute the predominant work on the contract or task order; FPDS rules require the PSC to reflect the principal product/service acquired. ³

• Q: Is H935 limited to a single industry or NAICS?
  A: The PSC Manual does not assign H935 to a single NAICS; agencies pair PSCs with varying NAICS depending on the nature of the requirement and the predominant work. ¹

• Q: Are there supply codes tied to H935 for test equipment purchases?
  A: H935 is intended for services (QC/testing/inspection); purchases of test or trade equipment as supplies should be coded with the appropriate supply PSC, per the PSC Manual and FPDS guidance. ¹

• Q: Where can I confirm correct PSC selection for a procurement?
  A: Consult the PSC Manual and FPDS help pages for selection guidance; agencies may also use government PSC selection/search tools and FPDS examples to validate code choice. ¹
