PSC Y1HC

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies products and services for procurements, enabling consistent reporting in FPDS and related acquisition systems and supporting acquisition analytics, spend visibility, and portfolio management. The PSC Manual (GSA) maintains the official code list and placement guidance used by agencies to populate FPDS product/service fields. ¹

PSC Y1HC (Construction of Government-Owned Contractor-Operated (GOCO) Environmental Laboratories) is a Category Y construction code that the PSC Manual lists by title and placement but does not provide an extended technical scope beyond the code entry itself; agencies interpret reporting practice against that listing when coding contract actions. ¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual lists PSC Y1HC by title within Category Y construction but does not publish a definitive NAICS crosswalk for this specific PSC inside the code entry; agencies may use internal crosswalks or guidance when mapping PSCs to applicable NAICS for solicitation or reporting purposes. Not specified by official sources ¹.

Reporting & FPDS usage

Agencies enter PSC values in FPDS data element 8A ("Product or Service Code"); the PSC Manual instructs reporters to select the PSC that best describes "what" is being procured, using the code list as the authoritative naming and placement source. ¹

FPDS is the public repository for contract actions and supports searching and reporting by PSC and other attributes to locate awards coded to construction PSCs (Category Y). Use FPDS search and help tools to retrieve contract actions by PSC. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the authoritative source for the definition of Y1HC?
  A: The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the official source that lists Y1HC by title within the construction category; the manual provides the code name and placement but no extended narrative scope. ¹

• Q: Can Y1HC be used for renovation of an existing GOCO environmental lab?
  A: The PSC Manual groups construction actions under Category Y but does not provide explicit use-case rules distinguishing new construction from renovation for this code; agencies should apply FPDS reporting guidance and their own internal policies to determine the predominant PSC. Not specified by official sources ¹

  A: FPDS is the primary public data source for contract actions and supports searches by PSC; use the FPDS public portal and reporting tools to locate awards coded to construction PSCs. ²

• Q: Are NAICS mappings provided for Y1HC?
  A: The PSC Manual does not publish a definitive NAICS crosswalk for this PSC within the code listing; agencies and analysts often use supplemental crosswalks or agency-specific mapping practices where needed. Not specified by official sources ¹
