PSC N069

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify products and services procured by federal agencies. PSC codes support consistent FPDS/SAM reporting, spend analysis, category management, and procurement planning. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs code definitions, implementation, and change control and is the authoritative reference for code selection and group definitions ¹.

PSC N069 is the installation-of-equipment PSC for items grouped under Training Aids and Devices. N069 is listed among Group N installation categories used to identify the predominant installation work reported in FPDS data element 8A; agencies select the PSC that best represents the primary product or service being acquired ¹.

Reporting and FPDS considerations

• FPDS Product or Service Code (data element 8A) should reflect the predominant work or item for the reported action; installation work that is primarily for training aids is coded N069 ¹.
• When contracts include multiple substantive items or services, contracting officers must select the PSC representing the primary purpose or value of the acquisition ¹.
• The PSC Manual and FPDS help resources describe data element usage and reporting guidance for accurate spend reporting and field entry (for example, environmental attributes are reported in data element 8L) ².

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should a requirement be coded N069 instead of a general construction or IT PSC?
  A: Use PSC N069 when the primary acquisition is the installation of training aids, devices, or simulation hardware and the installation itself is the predominant deliverable or service. Broader facility construction or general IT installations should use the PSC reflecting the dominant work ¹.

• Q: Are substitution or follow‑on maintenance activities for installed training equipment reported under N069?
  A: No. Ongoing maintenance, repair, or rebuilding is reported under the maintenance PSC (for example, J069). N069 is specific to installation actions and initial site integration ¹.

• Q: Does the PSC Manual list specific included or excluded items for N069?
  A: The PSC Manual provides Group 69 product descriptors and shows N069 as the installation code; however, detailed line‑item includes/excludes for N069 are limited on the descriptor page—consult the PSC Manual spreadsheet and group descriptions for authoritative guidance ¹.

• Q: Which FPDS field captures environmental attributes associated with a PSC like N069?
  A: Environmental attributes are entered in FPDS data element 8L (“Recovered Materials/Environmental Attributes”), which is recorded separately from PSC data element 8A; see FPDS help and data element guidance for entry rules and allowed values ².
