PSC M1KZ

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services in procurement records; PSCs are used in FPDS and other federal reporting systems to enable consistent tracking, analysis, and reporting of government purchases, and the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative maintenance source. ¹

PSC M1KZ — Operation Of Other Conservation And Development Facilities — is the four-character code used to report contracting actions whose predominant effort is operation or management of conservation- and land-development-related facilities not covered under other facility-based PSCs. The official PSC listings provide the short descriptor but do not supply an exhaustive task list or a mandatory NAICS crosswalk for every circumstance. ²

Acquisition notes

• FPDS coding: The Product/Service Code field in FPDS must reflect the predominant product or service procured; select the PSC that best represents the majority of contract value. ³
• NAICS crosswalks: The PSC Manual spreadsheet includes supporting columns and may list associated NAICS codes; for many facility-operation PSCs specific NAICS assignments are not exhaustively prescriptive. Not specified by official sources ².
• Use of alternatives: When a more specific PSC exists for a narrowly defined facility type (for example, dams or canals), that code should generally be preferred over a broad M1KZ assignment. Not specified by official sources ².

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does PSC M1KZ represent?
  PSC M1KZ is the code for “Operation Of Other Conservation And Development Facilities” used to report contracts where the primary effort is operating or managing conservation/development facilities not covered by other facility-specific PSCs; the PSC Manual lists the code and short descriptor. ²

• Which federal systems require the PSC on contract actions?
  The PSC is a required data element in FPDS reporting and is used across federal acquisition systems for classification and reporting of contract actions; see the FPDS-NG data dictionary for field definition and reporting rules. ³

• Are there standard NAICS codes tied to M1KZ for solicitations?
  The PSC Manual spreadsheet may include suggested NAICS associations, but no single mandatory NAICS mapping for every M1KZ action is prescribed; agencies assign NAICS based on the principal nature of work. Not specified by official sources ²

• When should a contracting officer choose a different M1* PSC instead of M1KZ?
  If the requirement clearly matches a more specific facility-operation PSC (for example, M1KA for dams or M1KB for canals), that specific PSC should be used; M1KZ is intended for other conservation/development facilities not covered elsewhere in the M1 series. Not specified by official sources ²
