PSC P100

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that standardizes how products and services are classified in federal procurements. Agencies record PSCs in contract reporting systems such as FPDS and SAM to improve spend visibility, reporting, and category management. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov governs PSC definitions, assignment principles, and maintenance processes, including how Category P (Salvage) codes are described and updated. ¹

The PSC P100 is labeled “Salvage- Preparation and Disposal of Excess/Surplus Property.” It is the designated service-code bucket used to indicate contract actions whose predominant purpose is preparing, staging, transporting, demilitarizing (if required), and disposing of excess or surplus property through sale, transfer, destruction, or recycling. Use of the code is governed by the PSC Manual’s descriptors and assignment guidance. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Preparation of excess/surplus property for disposition, including inventory, cleaning, packaging, and staging activities. ¹
• Removal, salvage, and recovery operations associated with surplus property, including reclamation of reusable components. ¹
• Transportation, packing, crating, and temporary storage of excess property pending sale, transfer, or disposal. ¹
• Disposition activities such as public sale, transfer to other agencies, donation, scrapping, or recycling. ¹
• Demilitarization, decontamination, or other preparatory work necessary to render property safe or compliant before disposal. ¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Official PSC-to-NAICS crosswalk entries specific to P100 are not enumerated in the PSC Manual spreadsheets or narrative pages; the Manual does not prescribe a single mandatory NAICS pairing for every PSC. Where NAICS is required in FPDS, agencies select the NAICS most appropriate to the primary work performed. Not specified by official sources. ¹

FPDS reporting & coding notes

• Agencies enter the PSC in FPDS data element 8A, selecting the code that represents the predominant product or service procured by dollar value; this instruction applies to service codes such as P100. ²
• Environmental or recovered-material attributes, when applicable, are reported in FPDS data element 8L; selection of environmental attributes is independent from PSC selection and follows FPDS guidance. ²
• When a contract includes mixed tasks, agencies should apply the “predominant purpose” principle (by value or level of effort) to determine whether P100 is the appropriate PSC entry. See FPDS help and the PSC Manual for procedural context. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly should be reported under PSC P100?
  A: Report P100 when the contract’s primary activity is preparing and disposing of excess or surplus property, including staging, decontamination, and disposition actions described in the PSC Manual. Use the PSC that represents the predominant purpose of the procurement. ¹

• Q: Are specific includes or excludes provided for P100?
  A: The PSC Manual provides the descriptor for P100 but does not list an exhaustive include/exclude matrix for every scenario; agencies apply the descriptor and predominant-purpose guidance to determine fit. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Q: How should P100 be selected in FPDS when contracts include mixed tasks?
  A: Follow the PSC Manual’s predominant-purpose principle: select the PSC that matches the primary service or product by dollar value or effort. Document rationale in procurement records when multiple tasks are present. ¹

• Q: Is a single NAICS required alongside P100?
  A: Contracts must include applicable NAICS codes in FPDS where required, but the PSC Manual does not mandate a single NAICS pairing for P100. Agencies select the NAICS that best describes the principal work. Not specified by official sources. ¹
