PSC S112

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) framework standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies purchased products and services for contracting, reporting, and spend analysis. PSC entries are recorded in federal procurement systems such as the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and are maintained via the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov, which provides the authoritative code list and the maintenance procedures that govern additions or changes to codes and titles.¹

PSC S112 is the PSC title used for electric utility services in federal contracting records (commonly shown as “Utilities‑Electric” or “Electric Services”). Agencies apply PSC S112 when obligations relate to electric service provision, distribution, or purchases recorded in FPDS-era award records; FPDS award entries, agency documentation, and solicitation materials supply transaction-level context for individual obligations.²

What this PSC covers

• Electric power supply and purchases.
• Electricity distribution and transmission services.
• Operation and maintenance of electric utility systems.
• Metering, billing, and utility-account services.
• Emergency/standby power and outage restoration services.

The PSC Manual provides the code title but does not itemize an exhaustive scope for PSC S112; detailed inclusions or explicit sub-categories are not specified by official sources.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual does not publish a formal one-to-one crosswalk between PSCs and NAICS codes; therefore a definitive crosswalk for PSC S112 is not specified by official sources. Not specified by official sources.¹

Agencies commonly record NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution) on awards that also carry PSC S112 in FPDS, but this association is observable from award data and agency practice rather than codified in the PSC Manual.²

Typical award uses

• Utility service procurements for federal installations (metered electricity purchases and billed utility service agreements) documented as agency obligations in FPDS.²
• Task orders and delivery orders for restoration or temporary electric service following outages, often recorded under PSC S112 in award metadata.²

How PSC S112 is used in federal reporting

PSC S112 functions as a classification label recorded in award and assistance records to enable spend analysis, category reporting, and historical tracking for electric-service-related obligations across agencies. The PSC Manual is the authoritative registry of PSC code titles and the change process for the list.¹

Frequently asked questions

• What does PSC S112 specifically mean on an FPDS award?
  PSC S112 denotes awards that contracting officers have classified as electric services or utilities-electric in FPDS. The award record’s transaction fields (award title, description, NAICS) provide the operational context; the PSC Manual supplies the official code list but not an exhaustive usage narrative.¹

• Which NAICS commonly appears with S112 on awards?
  Contracting records frequently pair PSC S112 with NAICS in the electric power sector—observationally NAICS 221122 appears on many FPDS records that also list S112—but the PSC Manual does not publish a formal crosswalk.²

• Is S112 used for electricity generation contracts or only distribution/supply?
  FPDS award records show PSC S112 applied across supply, distribution, and generation-adjacent services when agencies record the procurement under the electric utilities PSC; the Manual itself lists the code title and change process but does not constrain usage scenarios.²

• Where can I confirm the official PSC entry and updates for S112?
  Consult the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov for the official listing, published PSC files, and change history; view FPDS award records to see how agencies have applied PSC S112 in practice.¹
