PSC J035

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify products and services in procurement records, enabling consistent reporting, spend analysis, and award tracking across federal systems (FPDS, SAM and related reporting). The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs PSC assignment, maintenance, and use in federal procurement reporting, including the short descriptors used in FPDS and SAM. ¹

PSC J035 is titled “Maint/repair/rebuild Of Equipment‑ Service and Trade Equipment” and applies where contracts procure maintenance, repair, or rebuilding services for service‑industry and trade equipment (shop, field, or service installations). Federal award records commonly pair J035 actions with maintenance‑oriented NAICS such as 811310. ²
