PSC J072

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) framework standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies procured products and services for reporting, tracking, and analysis across acquisition systems such as FPDS and SAM. The authoritative PSC list and supporting files are maintained and published through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov; agencies and contracting officers use PSC entries to tag contract actions so that awards, spending, and reporting align with government-wide categories for analytics and lifecycle management.¹

PSC J072 identifies maintenance, repair, rebuild, and related services for household and commercial furnishings and appliances. It is applied on contract actions to indicate work such as on-site repairs, off-site overhauls, preventive maintenance, refurbishing, and associated part replacement when the requirement matches the PSC descriptor and agency acquisition policy.¹

What this PSC covers

• Appliance maintenance and repair (washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, small household appliances and similar commercial units).¹
• Repair, refinish, recovery, or refurbishment of household and commercial furniture and furnishings, including structural repair and finish restoration.¹
• Replacement, repair, or rebuilding of appliance components, controls, and assemblies when provided as part of maintenance or overhaul services.¹
• Preventive maintenance, scheduled inspection, routine service, and condition-based servicing for furnishings and appliances identified in the solicitation.¹
• On-site repair services and off-site rebuild or overhaul operations when specified by the contracting agency and documented in the statement of work or performance work statement.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Note: Official PSC documentation and federal award records indicate frequent association between PSC J072 and NAICS 811412 when the procurement’s primary work is appliance repair and service.¹

Typical solicitation language and contract types

• Common statement-of-work elements: identification of appliance/furnishing classes, performance locations, contractor response times for emergency repairs, parts provisioning and ownership, warranty and acceptance criteria, and recordkeeping for replaced components; exact language and requirements vary by agency and acquisition office.¹
• Contract types: discrete repair tasks often use firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials for on-call responses; recurring maintenance and blanket requirements commonly use indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, BPAs, or task-order contracts tied to service rates and labor categories.¹
• Pricing and parts: solicitations frequently specify whether parts are included in line items, whether replaced parts become Government property, and how spare parts will be invoiced and tracked under the contract terms.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Which federal systems use PSC codes such as J072?
  A: PSC codes are recorded on contract actions in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and used in acquisition planning and reporting in SAM; the PSC list and guidance are published through Acquisition.gov for consistent application across agencies.¹

• Q: What NAICS code is most commonly paired with PSC J072?
  A: When the primary requirement is appliance repair and service, federal award records typically pair PSC J072 with NAICS 811412 (Appliance Repair and Maintenance), though agency determinations can vary by scope and contract structure.¹

• Q: Are parts and replacement materials covered under J072 actions?
  A: Many solicitations state that repair parts and replacement materials are included in maintenance/repair line items and may become Government property if the contract so specifies; the precise treatment is determined by the contract terms and SOW/Performance Work Statement.¹

• Q: Does J072 include commercial kitchen equipment (for example, ovens and steamers)?
  A: The PSC descriptor covers household and commercial furnishings and appliances broadly; agencies define eligible equipment categories in solicitation documents, so applicability to specific commercial kitchen equipment should be confirmed in the SOW and acquisition justification.¹
