PSC Q901

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a four‑character taxonomy used by the U.S. federal government to classify products and services reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). PSCs and the FPDS/PSC Manual enable consistent reporting, spend analysis, and category management across agencies. ¹
