PSC Q522

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies goods and services in procurement records (FPDS/SAM), supporting spend tracking, analysis, and reporting. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative maintenance point for PSC entries and guidance for their use in federal procurements and reporting.¹

PSC Q522 appears in the official PSC registry under the label MEDICAL- RADIOLOGY and is applied when acquisitions involve radiology-related professional services, imaging support, and associated technical or supply support as recorded in federal procurement records.²

  • G2X — NAICS 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers)
  • G2X — NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians, except Mental Health Specialists)

What this PSC covers

• Diagnostic radiology professional services (radiologist interpretation and reporting).
• Teleradiology and remote image interpretation services.
• Interventional radiology physician services.
• Imaging support services (image reading workflows, reporting).
• Imaging-related equipment servicing and contrast/injector support.

The above scope is derived from the PSC code title and observed usage in procurement records; the PSC entry provides the classification label but not a granular solicitation-level definition.²
