PSC J034

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify goods and services in procurement records (FPDS/SAM) for consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis. The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative registry and change-control point for PSC definitions and assignments. ¹

PSC J034 — MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT‑ METALWORKING MACHINERY is the PSC applied to contract actions involving maintenance, repair, or rebuilding services for metalworking machinery (lathes, mills, grinders, CNC machining centers, and similar machine tools). This PSC appears on FPDS award records and solicitations to indicate machine-tool maintenance and related shop repairs. ²
