PSC L093

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide four-character taxonomy that identifies the products, services, and R&D activities acquired by federal contracting actions reported in FPDS. PSCs enable standardized classification for procurement reporting, spend analysis, and category management; the PSC Manual maintained by GSA documents the codes and their use in FPDS. ¹

PSC L093, designated Technical Representative‑ Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials, is used where the predominant requirement is a technical‑representative service associated with nonmetallic fabricated materials. The PSC Manual lists the code and its descriptor but does not provide an expanded enumeration of included tasks or an exhaustive scope beyond that descriptor. ¹

Recording and FPDS guidance

The PSC data element in FPDS is data element 8A; agencies should select the single PSC that best represents the predominant product or service being purchased for the action. The PSC Manual explains that multiple goods/services may appear on an award, but the PSC entry should reflect the predominant acquisition. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What activities are definitively included under PSC L093?
  A: The PSC Manual provides only the four‑character code and the descriptor "Technical Representative‑ Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials." The manual does not enumerate specific tasks (for example, inspection, warranty liaison, or engineering support) under L093. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Q: How should L093 be entered in FPDS?
  A: Enter L093 into FPDS as the Product or Service Code (data element 8A) when the predominant requirement is a technical‑representative service for nonmetallic fabricated materials; selection should follow FPDS rules to reflect the predominant product/service on the award. ¹

• Q: Which PSCs are commonly paired with L093 on awards?
  A: The PSC Manual groups related service codes; maintenance (J093), modification (K093), and installation (N093) for nonmetallic fabricated materials appear in the same family and may appear on related actions depending on scope. The manual lists neighboring codes but does not mandate pairing practices. ¹

• Q: Is L093 a product code or a service code?
  A: L093 is a service‑category PSC (Category L, Technical Representative). The PSC Manual organizes L‑series codes under Technical Representative service codes. ¹
