PSC W065

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal taxonomy used to classify goods and services in procurement records (FPDS, SAM and related systems). PSCs enable consistent reporting, spend analysis, and contract classification; the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the governing reference for PSC assignments and updates. ¹

PSC W065 is captioned "LEASE OR RENTAL OF EQUIPMENT- MEDICAL, DENTAL, AND VETERINARY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES" and is applied when contracting officers classify procurements that provide equipment, supplies, or related items on a lease or rental basis for medical, dental, or veterinary use. The current caption and listing for this PSC are published in the PSC master file. ²
