PSC M1NE

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies the goods and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSCs are used in procurement reporting systems such as FPDS and SAM and are maintained via the PSC Manual and related management processes. The PSC Manual provides the authoritative short titles and categorization used for reporting, but many individual PSC entries do not include expanded scope notes or detailed “includes/excludes.” ¹

PSC M1NE — Operation of Water Supply Facilities — is the short-title PSC entry applied to contract actions whose predominant purpose is operating water-supply structures and systems. The Manual lists M1NE in Category M (Operation of Structures/Facilities) but does not provide an expanded scope statement for this specific code. ¹

Reporting and FPDS (optional)

PSC values are recorded in FPDS data element 8A, “Product or Service Code.” The PSC Manual instructs that when multiple products or services appear on a single contract action, the PSC should reflect the predominant product or service purchased; agencies therefore assign M1NE only where the primary purpose of the action is the operation of water-supply facilities. The Manual is the authoritative guidance on PSC usage and reporting conventions but does not prescribe detailed transaction-level examples for M1NE specifically. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PSC M1NE stand for?

  • A: PSC M1NE stands for Operation of Water Supply Facilities. The PSC Manual lists M1NE in Category M (Operation of Structures/Facilities) and provides the short title; it does not include an expanded narrative scope or itemized includes/excludes for this code. ¹

• Q: How is M1NE recorded in federal procurement data?

  • A: Agencies record M1NE in FPDS as the Product or Service Code (data element 8A) when the predominant purpose of the contract action is operation of water-supply facilities. The PSC Manual describes the “predominant” selection rule that governs PSC assignment. ¹

• Q: Which NAICS code should accompany M1NE on solicitations?

  • A: The PSC Manual does not prescribe a required NAICS mapping for M1NE; NAICS selection depends on the specific procurement’s primary industry classification and solicitation details. This mapping is not detailed in the PSC Manual. Not specified by official sources ¹.
