PSC J030

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the U.S. federal standard taxonomy for classifying goods and services in procurement records (FPDS/SAM) and reporting. PSC assignments support spend analysis, category management, and consistent reporting; the PSC Manual and the official PSC data file on Acquisition.gov maintain the authoritative list and update process. ¹

The PSC J030 — MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT- MECHANICAL POWER TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT — is the PSC entry used to record contracts and actions where the primary effort is maintenance, repair, or rebuild of mechanical power-transmission equipment and subsystems. The formal PSC dataset lists J030 with that descriptor and places it in the J (maintenance/repair/rebuild) group of PSCs. ²

What this PSC covers

• Repair and rebuild of gearboxes and speed changers.
• Overhaul of shafts, couplings, and driving assemblies.
• Replacement and alignment of belts, pulleys, sprockets, and chains.
• Shop-based rebuilds and field maintenance services for transmission systems.
• Diagnostic, adjustment, and preventive-maintenance services for drivetrain components.
• Fabrication or replacement of power-transmission subassemblies and components.

Official PSC entries provide the descriptor shown above but do not list exhaustive parts and task detail; consult the PSC data file for the formal descriptor and current code list. ²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

No single, prescriptive NAICS-to-PSC crosswalk for J030 is published in the PSC Manual; NAICS pairings commonly observed in award records vary by requirement and appear in FPDS award data rather than as a prescriptive mapping in the Manual. Not specified by the PSC Manual as a prescriptive crosswalk. ¹

Typical NAICS entries that appear in award records for mechanical power-transmission manufacturing and repair work include references such as NAICS 333613 and service-related NAICS like NAICS 811310, but specific assignments depend on the procurement’s scope and award reporting practices. See FPDS award examples for observed pairings. ³

Contracting notes

• Classification practice: Contracting officers assign J030 when the primary effort is maintenance/repair/rebuild of mechanical power-transmission equipment; supporting supply items for parts are commonly coded to product PSCs. ²
• Place-of-performance and warranty: Standard contracting considerations (performance location, warranty, and spare-parts handling) follow agency policy and FAR clauses; the PSC records the service category but does not prescribe clause selection. Not specified by the PSC Manual for those clause choices. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should a requirement be coded as PSC J030?

  • A: Use PSC J030 when the primary procurement is maintenance, repair, or rebuild of mechanical power-transmission systems or assemblies; the PSC dataset lists J030 with that maintenance/repair/rebuild descriptor. ²

• Q: Which NAICS codes are typically associated with J030 in award data?

  • A: Award records commonly show pairings such as NAICS 333613 (mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing) and service NAICS such as NAICS 811310; these observed pairings are visible in FPDS award entries rather than as a prescriptive PSC Manual crosswalk. ³

• Q: Is installation of new transmission equipment covered by J030?

  • A: No. Installation is typically coded to an N-series installation PSC (for example, N030); J030 is specific to maintenance/repair/rebuild activities. The PSC dataset distinguishes J (maintenance) from N (installation) entries. ²

• Q: Are spare parts for transmission assemblies coded to J030?

  • A: Parts and end items are generally recorded under product PSCs (for example, 3020 series) rather than J030, which records the service effort; the PSC Manual does not exhaustively prescribe parts coding in every scenario. ¹
