PSC L068

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy that identifies what is bought in federal procurements. PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM data to classify contract actions for reporting, analysis, and spend tracking. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative register and management document for PSC assignments and group definitions. ¹

PSC L068 is listed in the PSC Manual as "Technical Representative- Chemicals and Chemical Products." The entry is a service-category descriptor used to code contract actions where the predominant deliverable is technical representative services associated with chemicals and chemical products; the manual provides the official label but does not expand topic-level task definitions for the code. ¹

Contracting considerations

• Coding precedence: when multiple PSCs apply, select the PSC representing the predominant product or service value; FPDS element 8A records the PSC for each contract action. ²
• Statement of work: align the SOW/requirements with the PSC descriptor to support accurate FPDS reporting and downstream spend classification; the PSC Manual provides code labels but not SOW templates. Not specified by official sources. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What is the authoritative source for PSC L068? The authoritative source is the Product and Service Codes (PSC) Manual on Acquisition.gov, which lists PSC L068 and Group 68 definitions used for FPDS coding and PSC governance. ¹

• Where is the PSC recorded in federal transaction reporting? The PSC is recorded in FPDS as data element 8A ("Product or Service Code"); agencies enter the PSC that best identifies the product or service procured for each contract action. ²

• Does the PSC Manual define detailed task-level scope for L068? The PSC Manual provides the descriptor "Technical Representative- Chemicals and Chemical Products" but does not supply task-level scope, exhaustive inclusions, or exclusions for L068. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Are there standard NAICS pairings published for L068? The PSC Manual does not publish binding NAICS–PSC pairings; FPDS captures PSC and NAICS independently and guidance is to select the code representing the predominant product or service. Not specified by official sources. ¹
