PSC J080

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies purchases of products and services for procurement reporting, tracking, and analysis. PSC entries are used in systems such as the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and SAM, and are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC J080 identifies maintenance, repair, rebuild, and refurbishment activities associated with brushes, paints, sealers, and adhesives or the equipment that dispenses, mixes, or applies them. Agencies and contracting officers typically assign J080 when an award or order explicitly describes upkeep, repair, or rebuilding of application systems and related tooling rather than the purchase of consumable materials. In FPDS records, J080 commonly appears on delivery orders, indefinite-delivery requirements, and small purchase actions tied to sustainment of coating and adhesive application equipment. ²

• How does J080 differ from PSCs for product purchases like paint or adhesives?
  J080 is a service/maintenance code for repair, rebuild, or refurbishment of application and production equipment; consumable product purchases use commodity PSCs. Not specified by official sources ¹

• Which NAICS codes are commonly seen with J080 on federal awards?
  FPDS records commonly show NAICS 238320 and NAICS 424950 on awards that report PSC J080. ²

• Should contracts for installation or modification of paint-related systems use J080?
  Installation and modification activities are often assigned to their respective PSC families (for example, installation examples such as N080 and modification examples such as K080); use J080 when the primary requirement is maintenance, repair, or rebuild of existing equipment. ¹
