PSC M1AZ

Overview

Product Service Codes (PSCs) are four-character identifiers the federal government uses to classify what is purchased under contract; PSCs feed FPDS/SAM reporting, support spend analysis and category management, and are governed by the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov.¹
The PSC M1AZ labels “Operation of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings.” In award records it identifies contracting actions where the predominant effort is operating administrative or service-type buildings not captured by more specific facility-operation PSCs; FPDS entries commonly pair M1AZ with facility-support NAICS such as 561210 (Facilities Support Services).²

Acquisition contexts

• Typical procurements: base-operations support, consolidated facilities management, and task orders for multi-function garrison or campus services; agencies report M1AZ in FPDS when operation of administrative/service buildings is the predominant contract line item.²
• Common contracting vehicles: IDIQs, BPAs, and multi-year fixed-price or cost-reimbursement facilities support contracts; NAICS commonly used is 561210.²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How is M1AZ chosen on an award?
  A: The contracting officer selects the PSC that best represents the predominant product or service purchased; when building operation services (other than office-only) represent most of the contract value, M1AZ is reported in FPDS.²

• Q: Which NAICS codes commonly accompany M1AZ?
  A: Solicitations and awards using M1AZ frequently cite NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which covers integrated facility operations and support.²

• Q: Does M1AZ include maintenance or repairs?
  A: Routine operational coordination (scheduling repairs, vendor oversight) is included, but substantial maintenance and repair work is reported under maintenance PSCs such as Z1AZ; solicitations should separate operation versus maintenance line items.²
