PSC K076

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized federal taxonomy used to classify products and services in federal procurement records (FPDS/FAADS/SAM) for consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the governing reference for PSC assignments, definitions, and updates; agencies and contracting officers use it for code selection and reporting conventions. ¹

PSC K076 — Modification of Equipment- Books, Maps, and Other Publications — identifies contract actions where the primary work is modification, alteration, or similar rework performed on books, maps, charts, manuals, or other published materials. The code appears in the K-series (Modification of Equipment) section of the PSC Manual and is used for FPDS reporting when modification (not original publishing or routine reproduction) is the principal effort. ¹

When to use this code

Contracting officers should select the PSC that best describes the principal purpose of the contract action for FPDS reporting. Not specified by official sources ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What is the authoritative source for PSC definitions and updates?
  The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the official source for PSC definitions, the K-series code list, and documented changes; contracting officers and acquisition professionals should consult the manual for assignments. ¹

• Is K076 a supply or a service PSC?
  K076 falls under the K-series “Modification of Equipment,” which is applied to modification activities and is used in FPDS reporting to indicate modification work rather than original supply production. ¹

• Should routine reprinting without substantive change use K076?
  Routine reprinting or straightforward reproduction that does not alter content is generally distinguished from modification; the PSC Manual does not provide a single prescriptive rule for every scenario, so agency practice and the contracting office’s guidance determine the correct PSC. Not specified by official sources ¹

• Does the PSC Manual list NAICS crosswalks for every PSC entry?
  The PSC Manual provides the code descriptors; detailed NAICS crosswalks are maintained in supporting cross-reference tables and agency tools. Specific NAICS assignments depend on the nature of the work and agency mapping. Not specified by official sources ¹
