PSC W037

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a government-wide taxonomy used to classify goods, services, and R&D acquired by federal agencies for reporting, analysis, and spend visibility. PSCs are recorded in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and maintained through the Product and Service Code (PSC) Manual published on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC W037 is the service code assigned to “Lease or Rental of Equipment—Agricultural Machinery and Equipment.” Agencies and contracting officers use PSC W037 to identify contract actions in FPDS where agricultural machinery or related equipment is the predominant leased or rented item. The PSC Manual describes the label and category but does not enumerate an exhaustive list of eligible models, manufacturers, or make/model-level eligibility rules; agencies select the code based on the predominant leased item reported. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Tractors and prime movers.
• Harvesting equipment.
• Soil preparation and tillage machinery.
• Planting and seeding implements.
• Irrigation and crop-care machinery.
• Attachments and agricultural implements.
  Specific eligible items are not enumerated in the PSC Manual. Not specified by official sources. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What data field records PSCs in federal contract reports?
  PSCs are reported in FPDS element 8A, “Product or Service Code.” Agencies must select the code that best identifies the predominant product or service procured for the contract action; FPDS captures that value for reporting and spend analysis. ²

• Does the PSC Manual list every eligible make or model covered by W037?
  The PSC Manual provides the W037 label and category but does not list specific makes, models, or manufacturers; agencies determine the appropriate code based on the predominant leased item for the action. ¹

• How do PSCs relate to NAICS for market analysis?
  FPDS captures both PSC (element 8A) and NAICS (element 8G) so analysts commonly use both fields together: the PSC identifies what was bought while NAICS identifies the primary industry of performance or supplier activity. This pairing supports market analysis and opportunity sizing. ²

• Are multiple PSCs allowed on one award?
  A single contract action can include multiple products or services, but FPDS guidance directs reporting the PSC that represents the predominant product or service value on the action (element 8A); supporting line-item detail may list additional PSCs where applicable. ¹
