PSC L076

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how U.S. federal procurement records what was acquired on each contract in FPDS/SAM; PSCs support consistent tracking, analysis, and reporting of government spending and are maintained and published via the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC L076 appears in the PSC Manual under Category L (Technical Representative) as “Technical Representative‑ Books, Maps, and Other Publications.” The Manual provides the official code label but does not include a detailed scope statement or itemized includes/excludes for each individual service code, so contracting officers should apply the Manual’s general PSC selection guidance when assigning this code in FPDS. ¹

How FPDS records and agencies use L076

• FPDS element 8A (“Product or Service Code”) should reflect the predominant product or service on a contract; when published materials are the dominant service and the contract is for technical-representative activities, agencies will record PSC L076 in element 8A. ²
• The PSC Manual does not publish a detailed includes/excludes entry specific to L076; contracting officers should rely on the Manual’s general PSC selection guidance when assigning the code. Not specified by official sources ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly does PSC L076 mean?
  A: PSC L076 is the Technical Representative service classification for books, maps, and other publications as listed in the PSC Manual; the Manual supplies the code label but no extended prose definition for the individual code. ¹

• Q: Is L076 a product code or a service code?
  A: L076 is a service code in Category L (Technical Representative). Product PSCs for published items (for example, 7610 Books and Pamphlets) are separate entries; choose the code that reflects the predominant effort. ¹

• Q: Can a contract include both L076 and a product PSC like 7610?
  A: Yes. Contracts may list multiple PSCs, but FPDS requires element 8A to indicate the predominant product or service; if the primary effort is a technical-representative service, record L076, otherwise record the applicable product PSC such as 7610. ²

• Q: Which agencies most often use L076?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish agency-level usage statistics for specific PSCs. Not specified by official sources ¹
