PSC V112

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services in procurement records. PSCs are used in FPDS and related reporting systems to identify what the Government bought; the list and definitions are maintained via the Product and Service Codes Manual published on Acquisition.gov.¹

PSC V112 — TRANSPORTATION/TRAVEL/RELOCATION: TRANSPORTATION: MOTOR FREIGHT is the PSC used to classify motor‑freight transportation services reported in federal contract actions. Agencies assign V112 to procurements where the predominant effort is movement of freight by motor carrier; the authoritative label and category are listed in the PSC Manual.¹

Common contracting contexts

• Solicitations for line‑haul or regional freight movement frequently classify freight CLINs under V112; agencies report those actions in FPDS using the PSC element.²
• V112 often appears alongside transportation‑support NAICS in solicitations (NAICS selection is a separate reporting choice and varies by requirement). Not specified by official sources.¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should a contracting officer select PSC V112?
  A: Select PSC V112 when the predominant contract effort is motor‑based freight transportation (moving goods by truck or similar motor carriers). FPDS reporting requires the product/service code element be completed consistent with FPDS guidance.²

• Q: Does V112 cover freight brokerage and transportation arrangement services?
  A: V112 is intended for motor‑freight transportation itself. Brokerage, freight‑arrangement, and related business‑management services are reported under different PSCs or contract classifications; the PSC Manual does not prescribe a single automatic cross‑assignment.¹

• Q: Which NAICS should accompany V112 in a solicitation?
  A: The PSC Manual does not prescribe a single NAICS mapping for V112; agencies select the NAICS code that best represents the predominant industry for the requirement (freight‑trucking NAICS are commonly used). Not specified by official sources.¹

• Q: How is V112 used in federal spend reporting?
  A: FPDS requires the Product or Service Code element to identify what was procured; contracting officers enter the PSC that represents the largest dollar portion of an award. When the primary effort is motor freight, agencies record V112 in FPDS transactions.²
