PSC J037

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy used to classify goods and services acquired by federal agencies for reporting, analysis, and category management. PSCs are recorded in FPDS and related acquisition systems and are maintained through the PSC Manual and supporting files on Acquisition.gov. ¹

The service code J037 — MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT- AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT — identifies contract actions whose predominant effort is maintenance, repair, or rebuilding of agricultural machinery and equipment. The PSC Manual lists J037 within Group 37 and associates it with repair and rebuild services performed on soil-preparation, harvesting, dairy/poultry/livestock support, pest-control, and related attachments and implements. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of tractors and tractor systems.
• Servicing and overhaul of harvesting and haying equipment.
• Repair of sprayers, atomizers, and pest-control application systems.
• Maintenance of dairy, poultry, and livestock handling equipment.
• Repair and refurbishment of seeders, plows, harrows, and soil-preparation tools.
• Work on implements, attachments, and agricultural equipment components.

FPDS reporting and selection guidance

When reporting contract actions in FPDS, contracting officers must select the PSC that best represents the predominant product or service procured; for services, that predominance is typically the labor-based effort to maintain, repair, or rebuild equipment. DFARS PGI 204.606 and related FPDS instructions provide the data-entry and reporting rules that govern PSC selection and contract-action reporting. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What distinguishes J037 from product-group product codes for agricultural equipment?
  A: J037 is a service PSC describing labor and service effort to maintain, repair, or rebuild agricultural machinery. Product-group product codes describe the physical items themselves. Use J037 when the primary contract purpose is service. ¹

• Q: Which FPDS data field records the PSC on an award?
  A: The PSC is entered in FPDS data element 8A (“Product or Service Code”) and should reflect the predominant goods or services on the award; see PGI 204.606 for FPDS reporting and data-entry guidance. ²

• Q: Are there standard NAICS pairings for J037-coded actions?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a single mandatory NAICS pairing for J037; NAICS selection depends on the industry that best represents the predominant service or product procured. Not specified by official sources ¹

• Q: Where can I find authoritative definitions and updates for J037?
  A: The authoritative source is the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov; the manual and accompanying spreadsheets show active codes, activation/end dates, and category-alignment files. ¹

• Q: Can a single contract include both J037 services and agricultural equipment procurements?
  A: Yes. When multiple items/services exist on one award, select the PSC representing the predominant element by dollar value or scope; record other items via line-item detail or separate FPDS entries as required. See FPDS/PGI reporting guidance. ²
