PSC H944

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies products, services, and research and development purchased by federal agencies to improve procurement reporting, analysis, and spend visibility in systems such as FPDS and SAM; the PSC Manual is the authoritative maintenance vehicle for PSC content and change control. ¹

PSC H944 — OTHER QC/TEST/INSPECT- FURNACE, STEAM PLANT, AND DRYING EQUIPMENT; NUCLEAR REACTORS — is listed in the PSC Manual as a service-class PSC used to identify contracts or contract line items for quality control, testing, and inspection activities related to furnaces, steam plants, drying equipment, and nuclear reactor systems. Agencies report the PSC in FPDS as the code representing the predominant product/service procured on an action. ¹

FPDS data-element guidance governs the single‑code selection rule. ²
