PSC R711

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized federal taxonomy used to categorize goods and services in federal procurement reporting. PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to indicate what was bought, support spend analysis, and improve contracting transparency; the PSC Manual provides maintenance and assignment guidance for PSC values and descriptions. ¹

The PSC R711 — Support‑Management: Banking — covers services for accepting and cashing government checks and other payment instruments, accepting direct deposits, and accepting payments to the Government from the public; it identifies banking-related transaction services when reporting contract actions in FPDS. ¹
