PSC M1AA

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services in procurement records, enabling consistent reporting and analysis across systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC Manual and related guidance govern PSC maintenance, labeling, and use for contracting and reporting purposes.¹

PSC M1AA is listed in the PSC Manual as "Operation of Office Buildings" and is the FPDS-designated code used when the predominant purpose of a contract or line item is operating office-building facilities. The PSC Manual provides the official code label but does not include an exhaustive task list for every PSC entry.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What specifically does PSC M1AA include?
  A: The PSC Manual lists M1AA as "Operation of Office Buildings" but does not provide a detailed scope or task list; agencies assign the code when operation of office buildings is the predominant contract purpose.¹

• Q: How is M1AA different from X1AA and Z1AA?
  A: The PSC Manual separates procurement purposes: M1AA covers operation/management of office buildings, X1AA covers lease/rental, and Z1AA covers maintenance—each reflects a different contract intent.¹

• Q: Which NAICS is commonly paired with M1AA in FPDS records?
  A: Records for facility-operations-type awards often pair M1AA with NAICS [561210] (Facilities Support Services), though agency choices can vary by procurement specifics.³

• Q: Are environmental or energy attributes tracked for M1AA actions in FPDS?
  A: FPDS includes environmental-attribute fields (data element 8L) for award records; the PSC Manual and FPDS guidance describe attribute reporting but do not assign attributes specifically to M1AA alone.¹
