PSC J074

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy used to categorize products and services reported in federal procurements. PSCs enable consistent recording in FPDS/SAM for tracking, analysis, and reporting of government spending; the PSC Manual provides authoritative definitions and product-group listings.¹

PSC J074 covers maintenance, repair, and rebuilding work for office machines, text-processing systems, and visible-record equipment. The PSC Manual places J074 in Category J (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding) and associates it with office-machine product groups such as accounting/calculating machines, typewriters/office composing machines, visible-record equipment, and related peripherals.¹

What this PSC covers

• Maintenance and repair services for accounting and calculating machines.¹
• Maintenance and repair services for typewriters and office composing machines.¹
• Maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of visible-record equipment and retrieval systems.¹
• Maintenance and repair of office sound recording and transcribing machines.¹
• Rebuilding, overhaul, and parts refurbishment for miscellaneous office machines (mailing, addressing, coin-counting, etc.).¹
