PSC V231 — Lodging (Hotel/Motel)

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) framework standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies purchased products and services for procurement, reporting, and spend analysis. PSCs are recorded in federal systems such as FPDS and SAM and are governed by the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov, which defines PSC descriptions, maintenance, and change procedures. PSC V231 designates procurements where hotel or motel accommodations are the primary deliverable; award records commonly show an association with NAICS 721110. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Hotel and motel room accommodations and nightly lodging for official travel and mission support. ²

• Short-term commercial lodging used for official temporary duty (TDY) travel and transient billeting. ³
