PSC H967

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies products and services procured by federal agencies. PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to enable consistent reporting, spend analysis, and category management; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov defines and maintains the codes and explanatory guidance for agency use. ¹

PSC H967 is listed in the PSC Manual as "Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection‑ Photographic Equipment." It identifies contract actions in which the predominant effort is quality control, testing, inspection, calibration, or acceptance testing services related to photographic and imaging equipment and related imaging items. ¹

FPDS coding guidance

• FPDS records the PSC in data element 8A, “Product or Service Code.” Agencies should select the PSC that best identifies the predominant product or service on the action. ²
• When a transaction contains multiple products or services, report the single PSC that represents the majority of the contract value (the predominant effort). ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly does PSC H967 represent?
  A: PSC H967 is designated in the PSC Manual as "Other Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection‑ Photographic Equipment." It applies where the primary contract purpose is QC, testing, calibration, inspection, or acceptance testing for photographic or imaging equipment. ¹

• Q: When should an action be coded H967 in FPDS?
  A: Select PSC H967 for FPDS element 8A when the predominant contract effort—by value or purpose—is inspection, testing, calibration, or quality‑control services for photographic equipment. Follow FPDS guidance for choosing the PSC representing the largest share of contract value. ²

• Q: Does H967 cover repair or maintenance of cameras and lenses?
  A: No. Repair and maintenance are typically reported under maintenance/repair PSCs (Category J). The PSC Manual separates quality‑control/testing/inspection codes (H category) from equipment maintenance, repair, or rebuild codes. ¹

• Q: Is there an official NAICS mapping for H967?
  A: The PSC Manual does not provide an explicit one‑to‑one NAICS mapping for this code; users should rely on the PSC definition and agency practice when selecting associated NAICS. Not specified by official sources. ¹
