PSC N076

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal taxonomy used to classify goods and services procured by the U.S. government for reporting, spend analysis, and category management. The PSC Manual is the authoritative registry and change-control source; agencies use PSCs in systems such as FPDS to record obligations and actions. The Category N family covers installation activities; PSC N076 specifically labels "Installation Of Equipment- Books, Maps, And Other Publications" and is applied when the primary work is installation related to that publications product group.¹

What this PSC covers

• Atlases and related cartographic products
• Other printed publications (pamphlets, brochures, periodicals)

How agencies commonly apply N076

Agencies assign PSC N076 when the procurement action is primarily installation work tied to the publications product group (for example, installing display racks, mounting map kiosks, or configuring hardware used to present or dispense printed publications). N076 separates installation obligations from the acquisition of the publications themselves, which are reported under product classes in Group 76. Detailed task examples and explicit inclusions/exclusions are not enumerated in the PSC Manual.¹

Frequently asked questions

• What is the primary difference between N076 and other 076-suffixed PSCs (for example, J076)?
  N076 denotes installation of equipment related to books/maps/publications; J076 denotes maintenance/repair/rebuild for that product group. Each letter prefix identifies the service family under Group 76 as defined in the PSC Manual.¹

• Should the purchase of printed books be coded N076 in FPDS?
  No. Purchases of books, maps, or publications are reported under the appropriate product group or Federal Supply Class. N076 covers installation work associated with that product group, not the acquisition of the publications themselves.¹

• Are there NAICS codes mapped to N076 in the official PSC crosswalk?
  The PSC Manual provides group and product listings; specific PSC-to-NAICS crosswalk spreadsheets are provided in the PSC package rather than as a single prescriptive narrative. Agencies typically consult the PSC workbook or FPDS guidance for crosswalks applicable to their procurements.¹

• Where should I confirm whether a planned task should use N076?
  Review the work statement: if the primary effort is installation (mounting, configuring, or installing equipment/systems) tied to books/maps/publications, N076 is appropriate. If primary work is supply, maintenance, modification, or technical-representative services, select the respective PSC such as J076, K076, or L076. The PSC Manual is the authoritative listing.¹
