PSC M2BB

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is the federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying procured products and services used across systems such as FPDS and SAM; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs PSC content, updates, and maintenance to support consistent reporting, analysis, and acquisition planning.¹

PSC M2BB—HUSBANDING SERVICES—FUEL SERVICES is the designated PSC for husbanding-related fuel activities used in federal procurement records and solicitations. The code is part of the M2 series of ship-husbanding PSCs added to FPDS in March 2020 and is applied by agencies to flag contract actions that procure fuel-related husbanding support.²
