PSC N084

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies products and services purchased by federal agencies to improve procurement reporting, searching, and spend analysis. PSCs appear in FPDS and SAM records and are maintained and published through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov, which provides the official code list and administrative guidance for PSC usage.¹

The PSC N084 label is “Installation Of Equipment- Clothing, Individual Equipment, And Insignia.” The PSC Manual presents the code and its short descriptor for FPDS/SAM classification; the Manual lists the code and descriptor but does not elaborate exhaustive operational limits or prescribe solicitation performance language within each descriptor entry.²

What this PSC covers

• Installation services for clothing and garments used by the government (installation, mounting, or attachment activities related to clothing items).²
• Installation of individual equipment (personal gear and associated hardware).²
• Attachment, mounting, or affixing of insignia, badges, and patches to clothing or equipment.²
• On-site fitting and adjustment related to installed individual equipment (sizing, minor alterations, and fit verification).²
• Field or depot installation tasks associated with individual clothing systems when installation is the primary procurement purpose.²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Note: the PSC descriptor is the published code label; verified NAICS crosswalks or broader mappings are not contained within the descriptor itself (contracting officers determine NAICS assignment separately).¹

How N084 appears in procurement systems

• Agencies record PSC values in FPDS as a discrete data field to support reporting and search; contracting officers assign the PSC that best matches the primary product or service procured (installation-related work for equipment commonly uses an N-series installation PSC).³
• The PSC Manual is the authoritative list used for PSC values; it provides the code, short descriptor, and revision history but does not prescribe solicitation language or detailed NAICS mapping within each descriptor entry.²
