PSC M1FA

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how Federal procurement actions are categorized so goods and services bought across the U.S. Government can be tracked, analyzed, and reported consistently in systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs code definitions and management and explains PSC use for reporting and analytics on federal procurements.²

The PSC M1FA — Operation of Family Housing Facilities — is the descriptor used to report procurements whose predominant work is operation or management of family housing facilities on federal contracts. The PSC Manual lists M1FA within the facility-operation group and identifies it as the appropriate code where family-housing operations are the principal effort.¹

What this PSC covers

• Family housing property management and administration.¹
• Resident services and lease/occupancy administration.¹
• Basic utilities and on-site grounds or common-area upkeep.¹
• Facilities inspection, turnover, and vacancy management.¹
• On-site housing support functions and emergency housing response.¹

Typical contracting uses

• Management and day-to-day operations of military family housing communities or other federally owned family housing where the principal activity is housing operation.¹
• Task orders for on-site resident support, routine housing inspections, and housing vacancy turnover services under facilities-support contracts; FPDS reporting practice treats the single PSC that best identifies the primary product or service as the appropriate reporting value.²

Contracting considerations

• PSC selection is based on the predominant product or service in the contract action; if the primary effort is operation of family housing, report M1FA in FPDS.²
• Leasing and property acquisition are separate PSCs (for example, X1FA for leases and E1FA for purchases) and should be used when those activities are predominant.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should M1FA be used on a contract action?
  A: Select M1FA when the predominant contract effort is operation or management of family housing facilities (day-to-day operations, resident services, inspections, vacancy turnover). FPDS reporting guidance requires the single code that best identifies the primary product or service.²

• Q: Is leasing family housing reported under M1FA?
  A: No. Leasing or rental is a distinct PSC family; use X1FA (or another X-category PSC) when lease/rental is the primary procurement.¹

• Q: Which NAICS codes map to M1FA?
  A: Not specified by official sources.¹

• Q: Are maintenance and repair tasks part of M1FA or a different PSC?
  A: If the predominant contract is ongoing operation/management of family housing, report M1FA. If the primary contract is repair, renovation, or construction, use the appropriate construction/repair PSC and NAICS per contracting-office guidance.²
