PSC W030

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a four-character taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify what is being procured on contract actions reported to the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). PSCs support spend-tracking, reporting, and category management across agencies and are maintained via the PSC Manual and related Acquisition.gov resources.¹

PSC W030 — "Lease Or Rental Of Equipment- Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment" — is the FPDS/PSC designation applied when lease or rental of mechanical power-transmission equipment is the predominant procurement on a contract action. FPDS award records show W030 used for lease/rental actions and commonly paired with rental/leasing NAICS classifications in award entries.²

What this PSC covers

• Mechanical power transmission equipment
• Drive trains and gearboxes
• Shafting and couplings
• Belts, chains, pulleys, and sprockets
• Rental and operational support for leased transmission systems

The PSC Manual does not provide a detailed, itemized list of every included part or subassembly; specific inclusions are not specified by official sources.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type | Code | Descriptor

• | - | - NAICS | 532490 | Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing PSC | W031 | Lease Or Rental Of Equipment- Bearings PSC | W | PSC Group W — Lease/Rent Equipment

NAICS pairing in FPDS records often shows 532490 associated with W030 lease/rental entries in practice reports and award listings.²

Contracting contexts (optional)

W030 appears in task orders, delivery orders, indefinite-delivery vehicle (IDV) calls, and other actions where the predominant procurement is equipment lease or rental rather than purchase. FPDS award entries document multiple agencies using W030 for lease/rental of transmission-related equipment.²

Reporting and selection guidance (optional)

FPDS reporting guidance requires selecting the PSC that best identifies the predominant product or service on the award; the Product/Service Code field is mandatory and must use a valid PSC from the PSC Manual and related Acquisition.gov resources.³

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does PSC W030 specifically indicate?

  A: PSC W030 designates that the predominant procurement on the contract action is lease or rental of mechanical power transmission equipment. It is the official FPDS label for lease/rental actions in this equipment category.²

• Q: Which NAICS is commonly paired with PSC W030?

  A: FPDS award records commonly pair PSC W030 with NAICS 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) when the award is primarily a rental or lease of equipment.²

• Q: How should the PSC be chosen on an award that includes both sales and leases?

  A: Choose the PSC that represents the predominant product or service value on the award. If lease/rental activity constitutes the primary value, report PSC W030; FPDS instructions require the code that best identifies what was procured.³

• Q: Where are PSC definitions and administrative rules published?

  A: The authoritative PSC list, titles, and administrative guidance are published and maintained on Acquisition.gov in the Product and Service Codes Manual and related PSC resources.¹
