PSC L065

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying products and services in procurement records. PSCs are recorded in federal reporting systems to enable consistent tracking, analysis, and reporting of spending; the PSC Manual and associated guidance govern code definitions and usage and direct how agencies report PSCs in award data and APIs.¹

PSC L065 — Technical Representative- Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies — identifies supplier technical‑representative services related to medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies. Typical use cases include on‑site manufacturer or delegated field representatives who perform equipment acceptance, commissioning, interface coordination, functional testing, training, or act as a technical liaison; the code denotes the representative service rather than sale, lease, or direct repair of the equipment.²

What this PSC covers

• On‑site manufacturer technical representative services for medical devices, including field acceptance and commissioning support.²
• Oversight of equipment acceptance, commissioning, and functional testing performed by supplier representatives.²
• Clinical or technical user training delivered by manufacturer or delegated representatives at the point of use.²
• Coordination of warranty escalation, parts, and service communication between the agency and manufacturer contacts.²
• Equipment performance verification, regulatory compliance liaison, and technical reporting as part of representative services.²
• Integration interface support for incorporating medical equipment into facility systems and workflows.²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type | Code | Descriptor

• | -: | - PSC | J065 | Maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies; typically used when the primary deliverable is repair/service rather than technical representation.² PSC | W065 | Lease or rental of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies; used when the procurement is for equipment leasing rather than representative services.²

How agencies commonly assign L065

Agencies commonly assign PSC L065 where the primary contract line item procures supplier‑provided technical representative presence (inspection, commissioning, or training) rather than supply delivery or formal maintenance. Reporting practice varies and the PSC Manual does not prescribe a single NAICS crosswalk for L‑series codes; agencies select the principal NAICS that best represents contractor industry or predominant labor performed, and mapping varies by award record.²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should an acquisition use PSC L065 instead of a maintenance PSC?
  A: Use PSC L065 when the requirement primarily acquires the supplier’s technical‑representative presence (acceptance, commissioning, or training). If the primary deliverable is repair or sustained maintenance work, use a maintenance PSC such as J065.²

• Q: Does PSC L065 cover warranty repairs or spare parts?
  A: Generally no. Warranty repairs and spare parts are typically reported under maintenance or supply PSCs; L065 is used when funding is for technical‑representative services rather than parts or repair actions.²

• Q: Is there a single NAICS that maps to PSC L065?
  A: No single NAICS is mandated. Agencies normally report a principal NAICS that reflects the contractor’s industry or predominant labor on the award; mapping for L065 can vary by agency and award reporting practice and is not prescribed in the PSC Manual.²

• Q: Can L065 appear on indefinite‑delivery vehicles (IDVs) or task orders?
  A: Yes. PSC L065 may be used on IDVs and task orders where technical representative services are procured as a contract line item; public award records and API reporting include L‑series PSCs on both IDVs and individual orders.²
