PSC V001

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) framework standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies purchased products and services, supporting consistent coding in procurement systems (notably FPDS and SAM), and enabling tracking, analysis, and reporting of federal spending. The PSC Manual documents maintenance, assignment rules, and management procedures for PSC values used across acquisitions. PSC V001 is the PSC Manual entry for Transportation/Travel/Relocation — Motor Pool and Packing/Crating encompassing Government Bill of Lading (GBL) and Government Transportation Request (GTR) procurements and related motor‑pool or packing/crating services reported in FPDS. ¹

The PSC text for V001 reads: "Transportation/Travel/Relocation‑ Motor Pool and Packing/Crating: Government Bill of Lading (GBL) / Government Transportation Request (GTR) Procurements." Use of the code signals that the predominant contract action involves GBL/GTR transportation procurements and related motor‑pool or packing/crating services. ¹

Reporting & FPDS usage

PSC values are entered in FPDS as data element 8A; agencies should select the PSC that represents the predominant product or service in the contract action. For service acquisitions that primarily consist of GBL/GTR transportation or motor‑pool/packing tasks, use PSC V001 to reflect those predominant transportation procurement activities. ¹

The Federal Acquisition Regulation recognizes bills of lading as accountable transportation documents and provides policy guidance on when transportation is acquired by bill of lading versus contract methods; GBL usage and associated procedures are described in FAR Part 47. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does PSC V001 represent?
  PSC V001 covers procurements of transportation obligations administered via Government Bill of Lading (GBL) or Government Transportation Request (GTR), together with related motor‑pool and packing/crating services when those activities are the predominant contract purpose. ¹

• When should an action be coded V001 in FPDS?
  If the primary acquisition action is the procurement of GBL/GTR transportation services or closely tied motor‑pool/packing operations, code the action as PSC V001 in FPDS data element 8A, following the PSC Manual rule to select the predominant product or service. ¹

• Is there an official NAICS mapping for V001?
  Not specified by official sources. The PSC Manual provides PSC descriptors but does not publish a definitive, single NAICS crosswalk for every PSC; agencies commonly select the NAICS that best matches the underlying commercial service when reporting. ¹

• Where are GBL/GTR definitions and procedures documented?
  Definitions and policy for Government Bill of Lading (GBL) and bill‑of‑lading methods appear in FAR Part 47; forms and related procedural instructions (for example SF 1103) are available from GSA and are referenced in government guidance. ²
