PSC J025

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal standard for classifying products and services procured by U.S. government agencies. PSCs enable consistent reporting, tracking, and analysis across FPDS/SAM and related systems; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source for PSC definitions and assignment guidance.¹

PSC J025 is the PSC entry within Category J (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment) used for services primarily intended to maintain, repair, or rebuild components of vehicular equipment. This entry covers work on subassemblies and component systems rather than whole-vehicle procurements and is described in the PSC Manual (April 2025).²

What this PSC covers

• Component repair services for vehicle structural parts (frames, cabs, bodies).
• Powertrain and transmission component maintenance and rebuilds.
• Brake, steering, axle, wheel, and track component repair and overhaul.
• Interior and accessory refurbishing, upholstery, and furniture repair for vehicles.
• Refurbishment, remanufacturing, and rebuilding of vehicular subassemblies.

Mappings between PSC J025 and the NAICS codes above are commonly observed in federal award records and FPDS award data search results.³

Contracting & reporting considerations

• Reporting: Services assigned to PSC J025 are reported in FPDS and appear in agency service inventories when thresholds apply; contracting officers should select the PSC that best reflects the primary service delivered.²
• Trade-agreement context: Vehicular components fall under product-service group PSG 25 for trade‑agreement coverage determinations; consult DFARS/FAR PSG guidance when assessing trade‑agreement applicability.⁴

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should contracting use PSC J025 instead of a different J-series PSC?
  A: Use PSC J025 when the principal requirement is maintenance, repair, or rebuilding of vehicular equipment components rather than whole-vehicle services or unrelated equipment categories; assignment guidance is in the PSC Manual.²

• Q: Which NAICS codes commonly appear with PSC J025 on federal awards?
  A: Federal award records commonly pair PSC J025 with NAICS codes such as 811121, 811111, and 811198; these associations are visible in FPDS award entries and searches.³

• Q: Does J025 cover installation or upfitting of new components (vehicle modifications)?
  A: The PSC Manual defines J025 for maintenance, repair, and rebuilding; whether a specific installation or upfit is reported under J025 depends on the primary requirement and solicitation language. Not specified by official sources.²

• Q: Are remanufacturing and full rebuilds treated the same as repair under J025?
  A: The PSC Manual groups maintenance, repair, and rebuilding in Category J, so remanufacturing and rebuild activities on components are generally reflected under J025 when they are the primary service; statutory or regulatory distinctions (e.g., manufacturing definitions) are governed elsewhere in the FAR/DFARS.²

• Q: Where to check historic federal spend for J025 opportunities?
  A: Use FPDS award searches and USAspending to review past obligations, historical trends, and NAICS–PSC pairings by querying PSC J025 in those systems.³
