PSC P200

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy used to classify products and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSC entries populate procurement reporting systems (for example, the Federal Procurement Data System) to categorize “what” is being purchased and to support tracking, analysis, and reporting of federal spend; the PSC Manual governs code definitions and management.¹

PSC P200 (Salvage‑ Aircraft) is listed in the PSC Manual under Category P (Salvage). The Manual provides the code title and category placement but does not include expanded includes/excludes or detailed scope language for this specific code. Not specified by official sources.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual lists Category P codes (for example, PSC P100, PSC P200, PSC P300) but does not publish a governmentwide PSC-to-NAICS crosswalk within the code descriptions. Verified crosswalks require consulting FPDS/agency coding guidance or the PSC crosswalk spreadsheet maintained separately from the Manual. Not specified by official sources for a single definitive mapping in the Manual.¹

Contract coding guidance

• Use the predominant-item rule when assigning PSCs: FPDS data element 8A (“Product or Service Code”) should reflect the predominant product or service for the reported contract action. Agencies should follow the PSC Manual and FPDS guidance when coding contract actions.²

Category context

Category P (Salvage) groups salvage-related service PSCs (for disposal of excess/surplus property, aircraft salvage, marine vessel salvage, and demolition). The Manual places PSC P200 specifically in Category P2 (Salvage‑ Aircraft) but provides only the code title without expanded scope language. Not specified by official sources for additional scope detail.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the official title for PSC P200?
  A: The PSC Manual lists PSC P200 with the title “Salvage‑ Aircraft.” The Manual provides the code label and category placement but does not include expanded includes/excludes for the code.¹

• Q: How should an action involving aircraft recovery be coded in FPDS?
  A: Record the predominant service in FPDS data element 8A. If aircraft salvage is the dominant service, agencies typically select the PSC that best represents that service (for example, PSC P200); follow agency coding practices and FPDS guidance for edge cases.²

• Q: Are there standard NAICS pairings for PSC P200?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a definitive PSC‑to‑NAICS mapping in the code description. Use agency guidance, the PSC crosswalk spreadsheet, or FPDS reporting tools to identify validated NAICS pairings.¹

• Q: Where can I find the authoritative PSC definition and coding rules?
  A: The authoritative source is the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov; FPDS guidance covers transaction-level coding practices and data element rules for reporting.¹²
