PSC J084

PSC J084 — Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment — Clothing, Individual Equipment, and Insignia

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies the goods and services it buys, enabling consistent reporting in procurement systems such as FPDS and SAM; the PSC Manual documents PSC definitions and reporting guidance. ¹

PSC J084 is the PSC entry for "Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment—Clothing, Individual Equipment, and Insignia." It is assigned when the predominant requirement is repair, alteration, cleaning, refurbishment, or rebuilding of individual clothing, personal equipment, or insignia (labor‑dominant maintenance/repair services). See the PSC Manual for selection guidance. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should an action be coded as PSC J084 rather than a product PSC?
  A: Code the action to J084 when the predominant work is maintenance, repair, cleaning, or rebuilding of clothing, individual equipment, or insignia (labor‑dominant service). The PSC Manual directs selection based on the predominant product or service for FPDS reporting. ¹

• Q: Is there an official NAICS crosswalk for J084?
  A: The PSC Manual lists PSC definitions but does not prescribe a single NAICS crosswalk for each PSC. Specific NAICS selections depend on the nature of the supplier’s industry and the solicitation. Not specified by official sources ¹.

• Q: Does J084 include textile repair such as tents or flags?
  A: Textile items such as tents and flags are generally described under PSC J083; J084 focuses on clothing, individual equipment, and insignia. Use the PSC descriptors to determine the best fit. ¹

• Q: Is modification of clothing reported under J084 or another PSC?
  A: When the primary requirement is modification/alteration as a modification program, selection typically falls under the K‑category (for example, K084); when the primary requirement is maintenance/repair, use J084. ¹
