PSC J055

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the U.S. federal taxonomy used to classify goods and services in procurement records, enabling consistent reporting, analysis, and spend visibility across FPDS and other acquisition systems. The Product and Service Code Manual (PSC Manual) is the authoritative maintenance and reference source for PSC assignments and descriptors. ¹

PSC J055 identifies maintenance, repair, and rebuilding activities specifically associated with lumber, millwork, plywood, and veneer equipment and related items. Agencies use J055 when the contract’s primary requirement is the upkeep, overhaul, or rebuilding of equipment used to process or handle wood products; contracting officers report J055 in FPDS and other acquisition systems per PSC Manual guidance. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Maintenance and repair services for sawmill and planer equipment used with lumber and related materials. ¹
• Repair and rebuilding of millwork production equipment and fixtures. ¹
• Maintenance, repair, and rebuilding associated with plywood- and veneer-processing machinery. ¹
• Service actions on handling and finishing equipment used for wood products and millwork. ¹
• Spare-part repair, overhaul, and refurbishment activities directly tied to lumber/millwork/plywood/veneer equipment. ¹

How agencies report and use J055 in FPDS

Agencies select the single PSC that best represents the primary product or service purchased; J055 should be reported when the procurement’s primary requirement is maintenance, repair, or rebuilding of lumber, millwork, plywood, or veneer equipment. The FPDS data model requires a product/service code for award records, and the FPDS schema defines how PSC values populate contract-reporting fields. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the official descriptor for PSC J055?
  A: The PSC Manual lists J055 as “Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Lumber, Millwork, Plywood, And Veneer.” That official descriptor is the authoritative label used by agencies for FPDS reporting. ¹

• Q: When should an action use J055 rather than a product code like 5510 or 5520?
  A: Use J055 when the procurement’s primary requirement is maintenance, repair, or rebuilding of equipment tied to lumber, millwork, plywood, or veneer. Product PSCs such as 5510 or 5520 represent materials or end items, not maintenance services. ¹

• Q: Can installation or modification procurements use J055?
  A: No—installation and modification fall into different PSC families. For example, use N055 for installation and K055 for modification if those activities are the contract’s primary scope. ¹

• Q: Where is PSC selection documented for contract reporting systems?
  A: FPDS requires a product/service code for award records and the FPDS schema and data definitions describe how PSC values populate contract fields; consult FPDS schema guidance and the PSC Manual for reporting rules. ²
