PSC W094

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a four-character taxonomy used by the U.S. federal government to classify purchased products and services for procurement reporting, analysis, and award documentation. PSCs are applied in systems such as FPDS and SAM and are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC W094 is listed in the PSC Manual and the official PSC data file as "Lease or Rental of Equipment- Nonmetallic Crude Materials." The descriptor is the formal label used when the procurement action principally involves leasing or renting equipment for handling, processing, or supplying nonmetallic crude materials. The published listing provides the code and descriptor but does not expand the label into an exhaustive scope or a detailed example list in the public file. ²

What this PSC covers

• Lease or rental of equipment associated with nonmetallic crude materials.
• Short-term and long-term equipment rental arrangements reported under federal awards.
• Transactions where the primary procurement classification is the leased equipment rather than sale of materials.
• Equipment categories tied to nonmetallic raw substances, as implied by the PSC descriptor.
• Reporting of contract line items where equipment rental is the primary contract value for nonmetallic crude materials.

Reporting and usage context

Every federal contract award record requires a valid PSC; FPDS uses the PSC as the canonical product/service identifier for contract reporting and analytics. Correct PSC selection matters for visibility, reporting accuracy, and downstream data products that analyze leasing or rental activity for material- or equipment-focused procurements. Contracting officers should follow FPDS entry rules and agency policy when assigning PSCs. ³
