PSC X1AZ

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy used by the U.S. federal government to classify what is purchased for each contract action reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). PSCs support consistent recording, analysis, and reporting of procurement across agencies and are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

The PSC code X1AZ — Lease/Rental of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings — is a Category X1 service code used to identify lease or rental acquisitions of administrative or service-type buildings that do not fall under the office or conference-space PSCs. The PSC Manual lists X1AZ in the Category X1 Lease/Rental of Structures and Facilities group and directs agencies to select the PSC that best identifies the predominant product or service reported in FPDS element 8A. ¹

Reporting and FPDS

FPDS requires a valid PSC in data element 8A (Product or Service Code). Agencies must select the PSC that best represents the predominant product or service procured; when multiple codes could apply, the code representing the majority of contract value should be used. The FPDS data dictionary documents element 8A and instructs selection consistent with the PSC Manual. ²

Category alignment and usage notes

The PSC Manual groups X1AZ under Category X1 (Lease/Rental of Structures and Facilities) alongside codes for office, conference, hospital, educational, and other facility types. The manual provides the authoritative list of active PSCs and their category placement; detailed item‑level descriptions beyond the short PSC title are not specified in the manual. Not specified by official sources ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should X1AZ be used instead of X1AA or X1AB?
  A: Use X1AZ for lease/rental of administrative or service buildings that are not office (see X1AA) or conference space (see X1AB). Code the action to reflect the predominant facility type by contract value, per the PSC Manual. ¹

• Q: Where is the PSC entered when reporting an award?
  A: The PSC value is reported in FPDS data element 8A, “Product or Service Code.” Use a valid PSC from the PSC Manual and select the code that represents the preponderant product/service purchased; see the FPDS data dictionary for element 8A guidance. ²

• Q: Is there a published NAICS crosswalk for X1AZ?
  A: A government-published NAICS crosswalk for every PSC is not provided directly in the PSC Manual PDF; agency NAICS mappings may appear in supporting spreadsheets or FPDS reference data. Not specified by official sources. ¹

• Q: Where can I confirm whether a PSC is active or end‑dated?
  A: The PSC Manual and its published spreadsheets on Acquisition.gov contain activation and end‑date information for PSC entries. The Acquisition.gov PSC Manual is the authoritative source for current PSC status and historical changes. ¹
