PSC Y1AZ

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) taxonomy classifies goods and services in federal procurement records (FPDS/USASpending/SAM) to support spend tracking, analytics, and reporting. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov publishes the PSC list and periodic updates; agencies use the Manual as the authoritative publishing point for code names and package releases. PSC Y1AZ is listed in the Manual as "Construction of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings" and is applied to construction procurements that do not fall under more specific facility‑based PSCs; the Manual provides the official label but does not prescribe exhaustive scope examples beyond the code title. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Administrative and support facility construction projects (service buildings). ¹
• Renovation or new construction of headquarters, field offices, and similar administrative structures. ¹
• Service buildings that support agency operations (for example, vehicle maintenance or storage closely tied to administrative function). ¹
• Design‑build or construction contracts where the primary deliverable is a non‑specialized administrative/service facility. ¹
• Construction procurements not classed under other facility PSCs in the Y group. ¹

Common procurement contexts

• Departmental construction and renovation solicitations for administrative complexes and support buildings frequently use PSC Y1AZ to label awards in FPDS and agency systems; example agency inventories and contract summaries show Y1‑group PSC spend for administrative construction. ²
• Agencies often pair PSC Y1AZ with commercial/institutional or heavy‑construction NAICS in award records (a common assignment in sample awards is NAICS 236220); searchable FPDS listings illustrate such pairings in practice. ³

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Does the PSC Manual list detailed inclusions or exclusions for Y1AZ?
  A: The Manual provides the code title "Construction of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings" but does not supply an itemized inclusions/exclusions list for Y1AZ; agencies apply the label based on procurement scope. ¹

• Q: Which NAICS codes typically appear with Y1AZ in awards?
  A: NAICS assignment depends on project specifics; common pairings in award records include commercial and institutional building NAICS such as 236220, as illustrated by searchable FPDS examples. ³
