PSC K084

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services for procurement, enabling consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis of spending in systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov provides the official code list and explanatory text used by contracting officers and data reporters for FPDS entries and procurement analytics. ¹

PSC K084 (Modification of Equipment- Clothing, Individual Equipment, and Insignia) is the service-level code applied when the predominant work under a contract action is the modification or alteration of clothing, individual equipment, or insignia. The code is grouped in Category K (Modification of Equipment) alongside related modification codes; the Manual gives the title and grouping but does not itemize every possible task under K084. ¹

Category context

PSC K084 belongs to Category K (Modification of Equipment) in the PSC Manual. The Manual groups modification codes with corresponding maintenance/rebuilding (Category J) and installation (Category N) codes so contracting officers can distinguish whether the primary service is modification, repair/rebuild, or installation. The Manual provides titles and groupings but does not offer an exhaustive task list for each code. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How is PSC K084 recorded in federal procurement systems?
  A: PSCs are recorded in FPDS data elements; agencies select the PSC that best describes the predominant product or service for the contract action. Use of K084 indicates the primary deliverable is modification of clothing, individual equipment, or insignia. ²

• Q: Is tailoring or uniform alteration explicitly listed under K084?
  A: The PSC Manual provides the code title and grouping but does not enumerate specific tasks or examples for K084. Tailoring or uniform alteration may be appropriate when modification is the predominant service, but specific examples are not listed. ¹

• Q: When should a contracting officer choose K084 versus J084 or N084?
  A: Choose based on the primary nature of work: Category K covers modification, Category J covers maintenance/repair/rebuilding, and Category N covers installation. The Manual distinguishes these categories but does not provide exhaustive selection rules beyond that distinction. ¹

• Q: Are there NAICS codes officially mapped to K084 in the PSC Manual?
  A: The PSC Manual lists and groups PSCs but the published Manual does not include a definitive NAICS-to-PSC crosswalk inline; NAICS crosswalks are often published in related PSC spreadsheets or FPDS crosswalk reports rather than in the code listing PDF. ¹
