PSC L049

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes classification of goods and services procured by the U.S. federal government to improve obligation reporting, spend analysis, and marketplace transparency. PSCs are recorded in procurement systems such as FPDS/FPDS‑NG and are maintained via the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC L049, titled "Technical Representative‑ Maintenance And Repair Shop Equipment," identifies technical‑representation services associated with maintenance and repair shop equipment in federal acquisitions. The PSC Manual provides the official code label and placement within the L‑series (Technical Representation Services) but does not publish an exhaustive activity list or prescriptive duty set for this code. ¹

Reporting and data use

Agencies report the applicable PSC on contracts and modifications in FPDS/FPDS‑NG as the Product or Service Code data element; FPDS validation requires the PSC to be a current valid code from the PSC Manual and FPDS uses that element for program reporting and analysis. ²
