PSC V211

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy that classifies products, services, and R&D procured across federal agencies to improve consistency in FPDS/SAM reporting, spend analysis, and category management. The PSC Manual and supporting PSC lists are maintained and published through Acquisition.gov, which also provides guidance on appropriate PSC selection for awards and reporting.¹

PSC V211 — TRANSPORTATION/TRAVEL/RELOCATION- TRAVEL/LODGING/RECRUITMENT: AIR PASSENGER identifies contracts and actions for air passenger services. It is applied on FPDS/SAM award records to indicate the primary purchase is passenger air transportation or related passenger air travel services used for official travel or mission movement.¹
