PSC T007

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies what is being procured so contract actions reported in FPDS and SAM can be tracked, analyzed, and reported. The Product and Service Code Manual is the maintained, authoritative registry of PSC values and usage guidance.¹

PSC T007 sits in Category T (Photo/Map/Print/Publication) and is titled "Photo/map/print/publication‑ Microform." The official PSC listing provides the code and title but does not supply a detailed scope beyond that label; secondary tools index T007 under Category T for reference.²

Acquisition notes

The official PSC Manual lists the code title but typically does not expand T007 into a detailed statement of work; agencies must therefore use procurement language, agency guidance, and any applicable printing rules to specify deliverables and classification for a particular requirement.¹

Contracting considerations

Many agency supplements and regulations treat microform activities as printing-related for procurement purposes; contracting officers should confirm whether a requirement triggers printing restrictions, special approvals, or agency‑specific clauses and thresholds. The PSC listing itself does not set approval thresholds.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is microform considered a printing service for federal contracts?
  A: Agencies commonly treat microform (microfilm, microfiche) as part of printing activities, but the PSC listing for T007 provides only a title; contracting officers should confirm applicable printing rules or agency supplements for formal classification.¹

• Q: Does the PSC Manual define detailed subservices for T007 (for example, digitization or equipment rental)?
  A: No. The PSC Manual lists T007 by title under Category T but does not enumerate detailed subservices; agencies must define required work in the solicitation and apply applicable regulations.¹

• Q: Which NAICS codes typically align with photo/map/print/publication PSC entries?
  A: PSC Category T entries are commonly aligned with commercial printing and related NAICS such as 323111, but exact mappings vary by procurement context and agency crosswalks.³

• Q: Should microform work be solicited as a printing requirement or as a service contract?
  A: That depends on the requirement’s measurable outputs and whether printing restrictions or agency rules apply; contracting officers must review the solicitation scope and relevant agency regulations before classification.¹
