PSC K085

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify products and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSCs support consistent recording in FPDS/SAM, improve spend analysis and reporting, and are maintained via the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

The PSC K085 appears in the PSC Manual under Category K (Modification of Equipment) with the descriptor “Modification of Equipment- Toiletries.” The Manual indicates PSCs are recorded in FPDS data element 8A and should reflect the predominant product or service on a contract action; the Manual does not provide an expanded itemized definition for K085. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Modification of toiletries equipment — Not specified by official sources ¹.
• Alteration or retrofit of personal hygiene dispensers — Not specified by official sources ¹.
• Reconfiguration of toiletries-related assemblies and fixtures — Not specified by official sources ¹.

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual does not publish a definitive NAICS-to-K085 crosswalk on the individual code descriptor page; users should consult the PSC category alignment spreadsheet and FPDS guidance for broader mappings and to determine the NAICS codes most applicable to a particular modification action. ¹

How K085 is used in FPDS

• K085 is a service PSC value under Category K (Modification of Equipment) and is selected in FPDS data element 8A when the predominant action reported is modification work described by the code label. The PSC Manual requires selecting the code that best represents the predominant product or service on the contract action. ¹

Adjacent PSCs

• J085 — Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment- Toiletries; listed in the PSC Manual as the maintenance counterpart to modification actions. ¹
• N085 — Installation of Equipment- Toiletries; listed in the PSC Manual as the installation counterpart. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What textual definition does the government provide for PSC K085?
  A: The PSC Manual lists K085 with the descriptor “Modification of Equipment- Toiletries” but does not expand with itemized scope or examples; users should interpret the code against the predominant work reported and agency-specific context. ¹

• Q: When should an action be coded as K085 rather than J085 or N085?
  A: Use K085 for modification or retrofit work that changes an existing toiletries-related asset; use J085 for routine maintenance/repair and N085 for installation of new equipment. Choose the PSC reflecting the predominant action. ¹

• Q: Is there an official NAICS code mapped to K085?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a definitive NAICS-to-K085 crosswalk on the code page; agencies and contractors should consult the PSC category alignment spreadsheet and FPDS guidance to determine the most appropriate NAICS for a specific procurement. ¹
