PSC L030

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services procured through contract actions, enabling consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis in systems such as FPDS and SAM. The official PSC spreadsheet and the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov are the authoritative publications used to maintain PSC codes, names, activation status, and change history. ¹

PSC L030 appears in the PSC Manual under Category L with the title "Technical Representative- Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment." The Manual records the code title and placement but does not prescribe task-level duties for technical representative services; agency solicitations or statements of work must define the specific responsibilities for any L030-coded action. ²

Reporting notes for contracting professionals

• When reporting an acquisition in FPDS, the PSC entry (data element 8A) should reflect the predominant product or service purchased; for actions focused on technical representative work related to power transmission equipment, use Category L code L030, while installation, maintenance, modification, or lease actions should use the corresponding J/K/N/W codes as appropriate. ²
• The PSC spreadsheet and the PSC Manual are the authoritative sources for code names, activation statuses, and change history; local solicitations must still define the technical representative duties and deliverables tied to L030-coded work. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What does L030 specifically require contractors to perform?
  The PSC Manual lists L030 by title only and does not prescribe specific duties, deliverables, or performance measures for a technical representative role; contracting officers must describe actual responsibilities, performance standards, and deliverables in the solicitation or statement of work. ²

• Which PSC should be used for installation or repair of power-transmission components?
  Use N030 for installation actions and J030 for maintenance or repair; if the predominant requirement is technical oversight rather than hands-on work, L030 may be appropriate. ²

• Are there NAICS codes tied to L030 in the PSC Manual?
  The PSC Manual does not publish a formal NAICS-to-PSC crosswalk for L030; NAICS selection is typically driven by the nature of the work and agency practice. Not specified by official sources ²

• Where can I confirm the current status or official name of L030?
  Confirm the current PSC name and activation status using the Acquisition.gov PSC spreadsheet (official current list). The PSC Manual provides group context and historical descriptions. ¹
