PSC N061

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) taxonomy is a government-wide classification system used in federal procurement to categorize goods and services for award reporting, spend analysis, and contract management. PSC values and descriptors are maintained in the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov and recorded in FPDS/SAM, where agencies assign PSCs to solicitations and awards to reflect the primary deliverable or service. The PSC for installation of electrical wiring and power-distribution equipment is N061; it is typically applied where installation of wiring, switchgear, feeders, transformers, or related power-distribution systems is the core procurement requirement. Whether N061 explicitly includes low-voltage data or telecommunications cabling is determined by solicitation scope and agency interpretation and is not specified in the PSC Manual. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Installation of electrical service feeders and distribution circuits.
• Installation and mounting of switchgear, distribution panels, and breakers.
• Installation of transformers and distribution transformers.
• Installation of conduit, raceways, and wiring systems.
• Site power distribution assembly, equipment mounting, connection, and testing.

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type | Code | Descriptor

• | - | -
• NAICS | 238210 | Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors
• PSC | J061 | MAINT/REPAIR/REBUILD OF EQUIPMENT- ELECTRIC WIRE AND POWER DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT

Mappings between PSC N061 and construction/wiring NAICS such as 238210 appear in FPDS award records where installation work is the primary requirement. Federal award-query examples show recurring pairing of installation PSCs with NAICS codes used for contractor-performed wiring and power distribution construction. ²

Common NAICS pairing and procurement contexts

Typical solicitations using PSC N061 procure on-site electrical installation services for bases, buildings, substations, and facility-support projects. Agencies frequently pair this PSC with NAICS 238210 when contract tasks are contractor-performed wiring and distribution installations; FPDS records document recurring awards where that NAICS and PSC N061 appear together. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the primary difference between PSC N061 and J061?
  A: PSC N061 denotes installation-of-equipment procurements; PSC J061 denotes maintenance, repair, or rebuild of the same equipment class. Contracting officers select N061 for new or retrofit installation projects and J061 for sustainment or repair actions. ¹

• Q: Which NAICS code is most often paired with N061?
  A: NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) is the most commonly observed pairing for N061 in federal award records where electrical wiring and distribution equipment installation is central to the requirement. ²

• Q: Does N061 cover fiber‑optic cable installation or low‑voltage data cabling?
  A: The PSC descriptor centers on electric wire and power distribution equipment; whether fiber or low‑voltage work is included depends on the solicitation’s scope and agency interpretation. Not specified by official sources ¹

• Q: How should a solicitation statement of work reference N061?
  A: Describe the dominant work (for example, feeders, switchgear, transformer installation, testing) and assign PSC N061 when installation of electrical distribution hardware is the primary requirement. Use the PSC Manual and FPDS entries to validate code choice. ¹
