PSC M1PD

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy used across U.S. federal procurement to classify products and services for contracting, reporting, and spend analysis. PSC values populate FPDS/SAM transaction records (data element 8A) and the PSC Manual published on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative listing and guidance for PSC usage. The entry M1PD — Operation of Waste Treatment and Storage Facilities — is the label the manual assigns to services for operating waste treatment and storage facilities; the manual provides the code title but does not list an exhaustive inventory of task-level inclusions or exclusions for the code. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Operation of waste treatment processes (facility-level)
• Operation of waste storage facilities
• Sewage and wastewater processing at facility scale
• Hazardous waste containment and storage
• Sludge handling and dewatering
• Facility monitoring and environmental compliance

Specific activities, task-level inclusions, and exclusion boundaries for PSC M1PD are not enumerated in the PSC Manual and therefore are Not specified by official sources. ¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

No government-issued NAICS crosswalk entries for PSC M1PD are provided in the PSC Manual; the manual lists neighboring PSCs in Category M1 but does not publish NAICS mappings for this specific code. Not specified by official sources. ¹

FPDS reporting and agency inventory context

PSC values are entered in FPDS element 8A; environmental attributes, when relevant, may be reported in FPDS element 8L as described in the PSC Manual. ¹

Agency service-contract inventory reporting guidance identifies PSC groups for reporting thresholds; the M1 two‑digit prefix is among the PSC groups referenced in PGI 204.17 (service-contract inventory reporting) and related FPDS reporting rules. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PSC M1PD represent in FPDS records?
  A: PSC M1PD designates services for operation of waste treatment and storage facilities and is recorded in FPDS element 8A as the primary product/service code. The PSC Manual provides the official code label but does not supply granular task lists. ¹

• Q: Are specific tasks (sampling, transport, disposal) explicitly listed under M1PD?
  A: The PSC Manual supplies the service title only and does not enumerate specific tasks, inclusions, or exclusions for M1PD; agencies must define required tasks in solicitations or statements of work. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Q: Does assignment of M1PD trigger service-contract inventory reporting?
  A: PSCs using the M1 prefix fall within the PSC groups identified for service-contract inventory reporting; agencies apply PGI 204.17 and applicable FPDS reporting rules when thresholds are met. ²

• Q: Is there a NAICS code equivalent or mandatory NAICS crosswalk for M1PD?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a NAICS crosswalk for M1PD; there is no official NAICS equivalency provided in that manual. Contracting officers should select the NAICS that matches the primary industry activity in the solicitation. ¹
