PSC W025

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the standardized federal taxonomy used to classify goods and services procured across U.S. government acquisitions. PSCs are recorded in FPDS/SAM to describe what was bought, support spend analysis, inform reporting, and guide category-management activities; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative registry and assignment guidance for PSC usage. ¹

PSC W025 — Lease Or Rental Of Equipment- Vehicular Equipment Components — is assigned to contract actions and transaction reports where the primary deliverable is a lease or rental of vehicular-equipment components, assemblies, or related vehicular-equipment rental services as described in the PSC Manual. This PSC captures short- and long-term equipment rental arrangements, specialty mission modules and trailers rented as units, and ancillary vehicular equipment provided as part of a rental line item. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Vehicular-equipment components leased or rented (components and assemblies).
• Short- and long-term motor-vehicle rental arrangements reported as equipment leases.
• Rental of specialty vehicular modules and trailers used as mission support units.
• Rental of support vehicles configured with customer-specified equipment.
• Ancillary vehicular equipment provided as part of a lease/rental line item.

Scope and descriptive examples follow the PSC Manual. ¹

How the government assigns and uses this PSC

Contracting officers and automated contracting systems record PSCs at the contract-action and line-item level to represent the primary product or service procured; assignment rules and the authoritative code list are published in the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

Agencies and category-management teams use PSCs (including W025) alongside NAICS to analyze spend, plan sourcing strategies, and align procurements to government-wide categories. The Product Service Code Selection Tool (PSCTool) provides suggested NAICS crosswalks and search capability to help contracting personnel select NAICS and PSC combinations consistent with a procurement’s principal purpose. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should an action use PSC W025 instead of another W-class PSC?
  A: Use W025 when the transaction’s primary deliverable is a lease or rental of vehicular-equipment components or vehicular-equipment rental services per the PSC Manual. If the procurement’s principal item more specifically matches a neighboring W-class (for example trailers or tractor rentals), choose the PSC that best reflects the primary purpose described in the CLIN. ¹

• Q: Does W025 map to a single NAICS code for size or reporting purposes?
  A: No single NAICS universally corresponds to every W025 action. The PSCTool lists suggested NAICS crosswalks, but contracting officers must select the NAICS that best fits the principal purpose of each procurement. Use PSCTool to identify suggested NAICS for particular PSCs. ²

• Q: Are maintenance or repair services for leased vehicles reported under W025?
  A: Maintenance and repairs are typically reported under service PSCs when the primary CLIN is a service. If the CLIN is primarily a lease/rental (equipment) and routine maintenance is bundled as part of the rental, the CLIN may remain coded as W025 consistent with PSC Manual guidance. ¹
