PSC M1ED

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies goods and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSCs are recorded in FPDS and related acquisition systems to identify “what” is being purchased, to support reporting and analysis, and to provide a management reference maintained through the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov.¹

PSC M1ED — Operation of Ship Construction and Repair Facilities — is listed in the PSC Manual under Category M1 (Operation of Structures and Facilities). The manual records the code name and placement among related facility-operation PSCs but does not publish an extended includes/excludes narrative for M1ED beyond the code entry in the official manual and related PSC pages.²

How this PSC is used in FPDS (optional)

Agencies report the PSC that best represents the predominant product or service for each contract action using FPDS data element 8A. Use M1ED when the primary procurement action reported in FPDS is the operation of ship construction and repair facilities; contracting officers should follow FPDS guidance for selecting the predominant PSC for award entries.³

Adjacent PSCs in the shipbuilding lifecycle (optional)

The PSC Manual groups related facility and construction PSCs (for example, Y1ED for construction, X1ED for lease/rental, Z1ED for maintenance, and C1ED for A/E construction services). These adjacent codes align reporting across construction, operation, maintenance, and acquisition of shipyard facilities.²

Frequently asked questions

• Where is PSC M1ED defined in official guidance?
  PSC M1ED is listed in the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov as part of Category M1 (Operation of Structures and Facilities). The manual provides the code entry and placement but does not include an extended narrative for inclusions/exclusions beyond the code listing.²

• How should contracting officers choose M1ED when reporting awards in FPDS?
  Choose the PSC that represents the predominant product or service (FPDS data element 8A). If the contract’s primary work is operation of ship construction and repair facilities, report M1ED for the action; follow FPDS data-dictionary rules for PSC selection and line-item coding.³

• Are there commonly associated PSCs to pair with M1ED on multi-line contracts?
  Yes. Multi-line contracts may include adjacent PSCs for related services (construction Y1ED, maintenance Z1ED, A/E C1ED, lease X1ED). Assign PSCs per FPDS rules so each line reflects the predominant product or service.²

• Is a NAICS mapping provided for M1ED in the PSC Manual?
  The PSC Manual does not publish an authoritative NAICS-to-PSC crosswalk for every PSC entry; mappings may be derivable from agency practice or FPDS reporting but are not specified in the PSC Manual itself.²
