PSC Y1ED

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the government-wide taxonomy used to classify goods and services procured by the U.S. federal government. PSCs recorded in FPDS/SAM describe “what” was purchased, support spend analysis and reporting, and are managed through the PSC Manual and PSC governance processes. The PSC code Y1ED is the construction-category code used for ship-construction and ship-repair facility projects; agencies report it in FPDS data element 8A when the predominant work is construction of shipyard or ship-repair infrastructure. ²

Coding and reporting notes

• PSC selection guidance: the PSC Manual directs that the Product or Service Code (FPDS data element 8A) should reflect the predominant product or service on the award; construction procurements primarily dedicated to shipyard or ship-repair facility construction should be coded to Y1ED. ²
• Distinguish related actions: use related PSCs in the same family for purchases (E1ED), leases/rentals (X1ED), A/E architectural-engineering construction support (C1ED), operations (M1ED), maintenance (Z1ED), and repair/alteration (Z2ED) according to the predominant contract scope. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: When should a construction award be coded to Y1ED versus a more general construction PSC?
  A: If the predominant deliverable is a ship-construction or ship-repair facility (for example, a new drydock, shipyard pier, or repair hall), agencies should code the action to Y1ED. The PSC Manual requires choosing the code that best represents the predominant product or service reported in FPDS. ²

• Q: Are architect-engineer (A/E) services for shipyard design coded to Y1ED?
  A: A/E design and construction management for ship-construction and repair facilities are reported to the A/E construction family (for example, C1ED) rather than Y1ED when the primary procurement is professional A/E services. The PSC Manual differentiates A/E construction PSCs from construction execution PSCs. ²

• Q: Which PSC covers repair or alteration of an existing shipyard structure?
  A: Repair or alteration actions for ship-construction and repair facilities are reported under Z2ED when the work is maintenance/alteration rather than new construction; code according to the predominant scope. ²

• Q: Does the PSC Manual provide detailed “Includes/Excludes” lists for Y1ED?
  A: The manual lists Y1ED as the construction category for ship construction and repair facilities but does not provide an extensive itemized “Includes/Excludes” block specific to Y1ED; project elements are evaluated for predominance when coding. ²

• Q: Where can contractors find examples of Y1ED-coded awards?
  A: FPDS and agency procurement systems contain award records showing PSC usage; contractors may search FPDS award records and agency contract portals to view Y1ED awards and descriptions. ³
