PSC X1QA

Overview

The federal Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. Government classifies goods, services, and research and development for procurement, enabling consistent reporting and analysis across systems such as FPDS and SAM. The PSC set and guidance are maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov, which provides authoritative PSC definitions, categorization, and reporting instructions for federal agencies and contractors. PSC X1QA is the service-category code used to record lease or rental actions that restore, rehabilitate, or reclaim real property (public or private); it appears in Category X1 (Lease/Rental of Structures and Facilities) and is described as including “all actions necessary to restore, rehabilitate, or reclaim property.” ¹

Coding and FPDS reporting notes

• The PSC Manual is the authoritative source for selecting PSCs in FPDS data element 8A; agencies should select the PSC that best reflects the predominant product or service procured. ¹
• Environmental attributes for service acquisitions are reported in FPDS data element 8L when applicable; restoration-related acquisitions may require environmental reporting considerations under the Manual’s guidance. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should PSC X1QA be used instead of a construction PSC?
  A: Use X1QA when the primary procurement action is leasing or renting property specifically to support restoration, rehabilitation, or reclamation. If the predominant contract purpose is construction work performed by contractors (building or permanent repair), a construction-series PSC such as the Y1 category is typically appropriate. ¹

• Q: Does the PSC Manual define specific activities included in X1QA?
  A: The PSC Manual states that X1QA “Includes: All Actions Necessary to Restore, Rehabilitate, or Reclaim Property,” but it does not provide an exhaustive task-level list; agencies should code to the predominant contract purpose. ¹

• Q: Are NAICS codes mandated for X1QA-coded actions?
  A: The Manual does not mandate a single NAICS mapping for X1QA; NAICS selection is determined separately based on the industry descriptions and the predominant work performed. Not specified by official sources ¹

• Q: How should combined restoration-and-services actions be coded in FPDS?
  A: FPDS guidance directs coding to the predominant product or service. If restoration-related lease or rental is the dominant purpose, code X1QA; if another activity predominates (for example, construction under the Y1 series), select that PSC instead. ¹
