PSC K063

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes federal procurement classification to describe products and services in contract actions and supports consistent reporting in systems such as FPDS and SAM; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs the PSC list and maintenance processes. ¹

The PSC identified as K063 — Modifications of Equipment — Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems — is used to classify contract actions whose primary purpose is modification work on existing alarm, signaling, or security-detection equipment; FPDS award records and search results show practical usage of K063 on modification and retrofit actions for security and alarm-related equipment. ²

Use and reporting (optional)

• Classification in FPDS/SAM: PSCs (including K063) are recorded at the award or contract-line level in FPDS and are used in spending reports and category analyses; agencies assign PSCs to reflect the primary good or service procured. ¹
• Typical award contexts: Public FPDS search results demonstrate that K063 commonly appears on modification and retrofit actions for alarm, signal, and security-detection equipment across multiple agencies; the PSC Manual does not require a single mandated NAICS crosswalk for every PSC. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What type of contract action should use K063?
  Use K063 when the primary purpose of the procurement action is modification, retrofit, or alteration of existing alarm, signal, or security-detection equipment; FPDS examples show K063 used on such modification actions. ²

• Does K063 cover new installations of alarm and security systems?
  No. The K-prefix designates modification of equipment; new installations are typically classified under an N-series PSC such as N063. The PSC Manual and FPDS treat modification (K) and installation (N) as distinct categories. ¹

• Which agency systems report K063-coded awards?
  Actions coded with K063 appear in FPDS and downstream agency reporting systems; contracting offices enter PSC values into FPDS when the award’s primary classification matches the PSC definition. ²

• Is there a required NAICS code paired with K063?
  The PSC Manual does not prescribe a single mandatory NAICS pairing for K063; actual award records show multiple NAICS codes may be used depending on the scope and technical nature of the work. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Where to verify official PSC definitions and current code list?
  Consult the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov for the official PSC list and change history; use FPDS public search to view examples of award records that include K063. ¹
