PSC N037

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services in procurement records, supporting consistent reporting, tracking, and analysis across systems such as FPDS and SAM. PSC codes enable contracting officers and analysts to identify the primary purpose of a procurement, support spend-analysis, and drive reporting required by acquisition oversight bodies. The PSC Manual is the authoritative source for PSC codes, descriptors, and guidance on appropriate use. PSC N037 is the four-character code assigned to installation services for agricultural machinery and related equipment; agencies apply this code when the primary deliverable is installation (not the supply, long-term maintenance, or modification) of agricultural equipment. ¹

Reporting and assignment context

When reporting to FPDS (or populating contract data for SAM and agency systems), agencies must select the PSC that best identifies the product or service procured; if multiple PSCs could apply, the code representing the largest share of contract value should be used for FPDS reporting. The FPDS data dictionary and guidance define the Product or Service Code field and require values drawn from the official PSC Manual. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PSC N037 specifically identify?
  A: PSC N037 identifies procurements whose primary deliverable is the on-site installation, assembly, commissioning, or initial alignment/calibration of agricultural machinery and equipment as defined in the PSC Manual. ¹

• Q: If a contract includes equipment supply plus installation, should I use N037 or a supply PSC?
  A: Use the PSC that reflects the predominant purpose and contract value. If installation services represent the majority of the contract value, use PSC N037; if equipment supply is predominant, select the appropriate supply PSC per the Manual and FPDS guidance. ¹

• Q: Which federal data systems and processes use PSC N037?
  A: PSC values from the PSC Manual are used in FPDS and SAM reporting and by agency contract reporting systems that rely on FPDS data; FPDS requires that entries come from the official manual and its accepted codes. ²

• Q: Where can I confirm whether a procurement should use N037?
  A: Confirm in the PSC Manual and consult agency acquisition policy and FPDS guidance; contracting officers should document which contract element (installation versus supply or modification) represents the largest share of value when making the PSC selection. ¹
