PSC N083

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies goods and services procured through contracts and orders, supporting FPDS reporting, spend analysis, and contracting visibility. PSCs are recorded in FPDS data element 8A and are maintained through the PSC Manual and related GSA processes. The PSC Manual and companion materials are the authoritative sources for PSC headings and coding guidance. ¹

The PSC category N083 is listed in the PSC Manual as "Installation of Equipment- Textiles, Leather, Furs, Apparel and Shoe Findings, Tents and Flags." The manual presents this category title but does not provide an expanded scope or itemized includes/excludes for N083 within the listing. ²

Coding guidance

When selecting a PSC in FPDS, code the predominant product or service procured; for contracts or orders that include multiple products/services, agencies should report the PSC that best represents the primary item or service (FPDS data element 8A). Consult FPDS reporting guidance and the PSC Manual for agency procedures and examples of coding practice. ³

• Q: How do I decide between N083 and related PSCs such as J083 or K083?
