PSC N094

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying procurements of products and services. PSC codes are used in FPDS and other procurement systems to categorize purchases for obligation tracking, analysis, and reporting. The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the governing reference for PSC definitions, maintenance, and updates.¹

PSC N094 — INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT- NONMETALLIC CRUDE MATERIALS — is an N‑group installation code applied to procurements that principally involve installing equipment associated with nonmetallic crude materials. The PSC master list provides the official descriptor for N094; additional scope, status, and related codes appear in the PSC master list and monthly PSC files on Acquisition.gov.²

When to use N094

Use N094 when a procurement’s principal requirement is installation work for equipment whose primary function is to receive, convey, condition, or process nonmetallic crude materials as shown on the PSC master list. Procurements primarily for supply, maintenance, modification, or professional services should use the PSC group that best reflects that principal purpose.²

Associated maintenance and modification codes

• Maintenance counterpart: J094 — Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Nonmetallic Crude Materials.²
• Modification counterpart: K094 — Modification Of Equipment- Nonmetallic Crude Materials.²

Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between N094 and N093?
  N094 is designated for installation of equipment associated with nonmetallic crude materials; N093 covers installation for nonmetallic fabricated materials. The PSC master list provides the official descriptors but does not supply operational rules distinguishing “crude” versus “fabricated”; program offices apply descriptors to procurement specifics.²

• Can N094 be used for full construction contracts that include equipment installation?
  If the primary deliverable is installation of equipment for nonmetallic crude materials, N094 is appropriate. Full construction projects whose principal purpose is building or civil works typically use Y‑series construction PSCs; contracting officers should select the PSC that best reflects the contract’s principal purpose. Not specified by official sources.¹

• Are there standard NAICS pairings for N094?
  The PSC master files do not publish a prescriptive crosswalk assigning fixed NAICS to every PSC; agencies commonly pair installation PSCs with NAICS that match the equipment or trades involved for each procurement. Not specified by official sources.¹

• Which official file lists N094 and related N‑group entries?
  The PSC master list (monthly spreadsheet) on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative file that lists N094 and related N‑group codes, descriptors, and status information.²
