PSC R611

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a governmentwide taxonomy that classifies goods and services procured by federal agencies; PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to support spend-tracking, reporting, and procurement analytics and are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC R611 — Support‑Administrative: Credit Reporting — is the formal PSC label used in the PSC Manual to identify credit‑reporting‑type administrative services in FPDS entries. The manual lists R611 under Category R6 Support‑Administrative but provides only the short descriptor rather than a detailed includes/excludes list; agencies and analysts therefore rely on FPDS award reporting and procurement statements of work for operational detail. ¹

Contracting considerations

• Predominant‑use coding: The PSC should reflect the predominant product or service procured on a contract or order, per PSC Manual guidance on FPDS data element selection. ¹
• NAICS pairing evidence: Federal award records show PSC R611 reported alongside NAICS 561450 in FPDS entries, indicating common assignment for credit‑reporting procurements. ²
• Scope definition: Because the PSC Manual provides only a short descriptor for R611, contracting officers should document scope and deliverables clearly in solicitations and use NAICS and additional PSCs to capture mixed‑service requirements. Not specified by official sources ¹.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What specifically does PSC R611 represent?
  A: PSC R611 is the manual’s short descriptor “Support‑Administrative: Credit Reporting” used in FPDS to label credit‑reporting services; the PSC Manual provides the label but does not expand it into a detailed includes/excludes entry. ¹

• Q: Which NAICS code is commonly associated with PSC R611?
  A: FPDS award records commonly pair PSC R611 with NAICS 561450 (Credit Bureaus), as shown in federal contract reporting and search results. ²

• Q: Does PSC R611 include background investigations?
  A: No. Background investigations are listed separately under PSC R615 in the PSC Manual, so background‑investigation work should be coded to R615, not R611. ¹

• Q: How do I find federal opportunities or awards reported under PSC R611?
  A: Search FPDS award records or agency forecasts using PSC code R611 as the product/service filter; FPDS entries demonstrate active awards and NAICS pairings and can be queried by PSC and NAICS together. ²
