PSC H952

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) taxonomy is a four-character system used across federal procurement to classify products and services for FPDS/SAM reporting; it is maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov to support consistent spend analysis and reporting. The PSC labeled H952 — Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection‑ Measuring Tools — denotes measuring tools used in quality control, testing, and inspection activities. The PSC Manual gives the official code and descriptor but does not provide exhaustive item-level inclusions or exclusions for H952, so contracting officers should interpret the label in the context of a contract’s primary requirement.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

How this PSC is selected and recorded

Agencies should select the PSC that best reflects the primary product or service of the contract line item when reporting to FPDS; the PSC Manual is the authoritative source for the official code and descriptor.¹

For line-item selection, validation, and change requests, use the PSC Selection Tool (PSCTool). The PSCTool provides interactive assistance and is the recommended resource for confirming PSC choices and submitting maintenance requests when needed.²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the official descriptor for H952?
  A: The official descriptor in the PSC Manual is "Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection‑ Measuring Tools." This label is the authoritative FPDS reporting text and is used for standard classification by contracting offices.¹

• Q: Does the PSC Manual list specific items included under H952?
  A: The PSC Manual supplies the code and descriptor but does not enumerate item-level inclusions or exclusions for H952; item-level detail is not specified by official sources and should be determined by requirements analysis.¹

• Q: How should contracting professionals choose between H952 and similar PSCs?
  A: Choose the PSC that reflects the predominant product or service within the contract line item. Use the PSCTool to compare candidate PSCs and to validate the selection against official guidance before FPDS submission.²

• Q: Are installation, repair, or lease actions automatically tied to H952?
  A: No. The PSC Manual does not automatically attach specific action types (installation, repair, lease) to H952; related services or transaction codes should be selected separately to reflect the procurement’s primary requirement.¹
