PSC N072

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes federal procurement descriptions by assigning short alphanumeric codes to goods and services; PSCs are used in federal reporting systems such as FPDS and SAM and are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. PSC N072 is the federal classification for installation work that, by its label, covers installation of household and commercial furnishings and appliances. The PSC Manual provides the authoritative code list and labels; specific scope, exclusions, and mapping to NAICS are governed by that manual and by agency practice and solicitation statements of work. Use of the PSC is intended to improve reporting, searching, and analytics of award data while leaving detailed scope determination to contracting authorities and program offices.¹

Usage notes

Agencies report PSCs in FPDS alongside NAICS to describe what was procured; installation PSCs such as N072 are captured in award records when the primary work is installation of furnishings or appliances. Consult FPDS guidance and the PSC Manual for rules on when to assign a PSC versus relying on NAICS descriptions, and for any agency-specific conventions used during reporting.²

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC N072 specifically classify?

  • PSC N072 classifies procurements primarily for installation of household and commercial furnishings and appliances as labeled in the PSC Manual. The Manual contains the official code list and labels; contracting officers match the PSC to the requirement described in the solicitation.¹

• How does PSC N072 differ from N071 or N073?

  • The PSC label groups installation by product family: PSC N071 commonly covers furniture installation, PSC N072 covers furnishings and appliances, and PSC N073 addresses food‑service equipment installations. Agencies rely on the PSC Manual and the solicitation statement of work to choose the most precise code.¹

• Which NAICS should be used with N072 on a solicitation?

  • The PSC Manual does not mandate a single NAICS for every PSC N072 instance; NAICS selection depends on the primary nature of the work, the contract type, and the contracting activity’s determination. Contracting officers should select the NAICS that best represents the dominant economic activity of the procurement.¹

• Is PSC N072 a product code or a service code for reporting?

  • PSC entries can represent products or services depending on the acquisition. Installation codes such as PSC N072 are reported as the PSC that best describes the procured requirement in FPDS/SAM; FPDS guidance explains when to include PSCs versus NAICS in awards reporting.²

• Where is the official definition and list of PSCs published?

  • The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov publishes the current PSC list, code labels, and manual instructions; FPDS provides implementation guidance for PSC use in award reporting and data entry.¹²
