PSC S202

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a governmentwide taxonomy used to classify goods and services procured by federal agencies; PSC values are recorded in FPDS and are published and maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov to support consistent reporting, analysis, and category management. The manual defines code headings, category groupings, and guidance for PSC selection, but it does not translate each PSC into a prescriptive task list—those details are determined at the solicitation and contract level. ¹

The PSC code S202 (Housekeeping- Fire Protection) appears in the PSC Manual under Category S2 (Housekeeping) as the label agencies use when the predominant service reported is fire‑protection–related housekeeping; the manual provides the code label and placement but does not enumerate every allowable task under the code. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Portable fire‑extinguisher inspection and testing
• Fixed sprinkler system inspection and testing
• Fire‑alarm and detection system testing
• Fire‑suppression system maintenance and repair
• Emergency fire‑watch and fire‑monitoring services

Scope and specific inclusions/exclusions for S202 are not prescriptively enumerated in the PSC Manual; agencies select the PSC that best reflects the predominant product or service reported in FPDS, and solicitation statements of work determine precise tasks and deliverables. Not specified by official sources. ¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual lists S202 as “Housekeeping- Fire Protection” but does not publish an authoritative one‑to‑one NAICS crosswalk within the printed code list; NAICS alignments are typically observed in FPDS award records and agency acquisition plans rather than as a formal, single‑line crosswalk in the manual. Not specified by official sources. ¹

FPDS usage notes (observed)

FPDS award records commonly report S202 on actions whose principal NAICS includes security, installation, maintenance, or facility‑support activities related to fire protection. In practice agencies often pair S202 with NAICS codes representing security‑systems, building maintenance, or specialty trade services where the contract’s primary work is fire‑protection housekeeping rather than general construction or manufacturing. ²

• Example NAICS observed in FPDS with S202: 561621 (Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)). ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PSC S202 mean on an FPDS record?
  A: PSC S202 is the Product Service Code label “Housekeeping- Fire Protection.” It signals that the predominant service reported on the procurement action is related to fire‑protection housekeeping; task‑level detail is established in the solicitation or contract, not in the PSC Manual. ¹

• Q: Which document governs PSC definitions and their use?
  A: The authoritative source is the PSC Manual published on Acquisition.gov; the manual defines code headings, categories, and selection guidance that agencies use alongside FPDS data‑entry rules to classify procurements. ¹

• Q: Is there an official NAICS pairing for S202?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a single, official NAICS pairing for S202; NAICS associations are visible in FPDS award records where agencies select the NAICS that best reflects the principal nature of the work. ¹

• Q: Where can I find historical awards and examples coded S202?
  A: FPDS award records and the FPDS search tool provide historical contract actions coded with S202, including associated NAICS, award values, and contractor names—use FPDS to retrieve concrete examples. ²
