PSC M1KC

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a standardized taxonomy used by the U.S. federal government to classify goods and services in procurement records (FPDS, SAM and other acquisition systems). PSCs enable consistent tracking, reporting, and analysis of government spending and are maintained through the official PSC Manual. ¹

The PSC M1KC is listed in the PSC Manual as "Operation of Mine Fire Control Facilities." The Manual presents M1KC as a concise, facility-based operation descriptor used for classification and reporting; it does not expand the label into a detailed scope of work or a complete task list. ¹

Contracting notes

• Classification use: Agencies apply M1KC primarily for procurement reporting and tracking in FPDS; it is a classification label used for contract actions and spend analysis rather than a substitute for a statement of work. ¹
• Code provenance: The facility-based M1K family (including M1KB, M1KC, M1KD) was organized in the PSC Manual to group facility-operation categories; the Manual records these entries as concise descriptors. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What is the official definition of PSC M1KC?
  The PSC Manual lists M1KC as "Operation of Mine Fire Control Facilities" and treats it as a facility-based operation code. The Manual does not provide an extended definition, task-level list, or technical scope for M1KC. ¹

• How is M1KC used in federal procurement records?
  Agencies use M1KC as the product/service classification when reporting contract actions in FPDS and similar systems to indicate the action relates to operation of mine fire control facilities; it supports reporting and spend analysis but does not replace contractual performance requirements. ¹

• Is there an official NAICS crosswalk for M1KC?
  The PSC Manual provides PSC codes and facility groupings but does not publish a definitive NAICS crosswalk for every PSC entry; no specific NAICS mapping for M1KC is specified by official sources. ¹

• What should an agency include in a solicitation that references M1KC?
  Use the PSC only to classify the procurement. Solicitations should include a clear statement of work, measurable performance standards, deliverables, safety requirements, and any technical specifications tailored to the agency’s operational needs because the Manual’s entry is a classification label only. ¹
