PSC N030
Overview
The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the U.S. federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying what is purchased in procurement actions; PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to enable consistent reporting, analysis, and oversight and are maintained via the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov.1
PSC N030 is the service-category entry for “Installation of Equipment—Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.” The PSC Manual lists N030 among the N0 series (installation of equipment) service codes and directs agencies to select the PSC that best represents the predominant product or service being acquired for FPDS reporting.1

Frequently asked questions
-
Q: When should an acquisition be coded with PSC N030?
A: Select N030 when the principal requirement and majority of contract value is installation of mechanical power transmission equipment, as defined in the PSC Manual; contracting officers must choose the code that best represents the predominant product or service for the award.1
-
Q: How does N030 differ from J030, K030, and W030?
A: The PSC Manual separates related activities into distinct PSC entries: N030 is for installation, J030 for maintenance/repair/rebuilding, K030 for modification, and W030 for lease/rental; each entry is a separate PSC to be used according to the contract’s primary purpose.1
-
Q: Are there official NAICS codes associated with N030?
A: The PSC Manual does not publish an authoritative NAICS-to-PSC crosswalk for every PSC; specific NAICS used with N030 vary by contract and agency reporting practices, and determinations depend on the procurement’s scope and reporting rules — Not specified by official sources.1
-
Q: Where is the PSC recorded in FPDS and are there rules for choosing it?
A: The Product or Service Code is entered in FPDS data element 8A; FPDS guidance instructs contracting officers to pick the code that best identifies the product or service procured and to report the code representing most of the contract value when multiple items/services apply.2
