PSC Y1JA

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the federal government’s standardized taxonomy for classifying products and services in procurement records. PSC codes appear in FPDS/SAM reporting and support spend-analysis, acquisition planning, and portfolio management; the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the official reference for definitions, change procedures, and distribution of PSC values.¹

The label PSC Y1JA identifies “Construction of museums and exhibition buildings” in the official PSC listing and is applied to procurements reported under that construction-category code in FPDS/SAM. Agencies and contractors should consult the PSC Manual for the code label, assignment guidance, and the PSC–NAICS crosswalk used for solicitation and reporting decisions. See the G2X entry for PSC Y1JA for procurement-focused metadata and historical tracking. ²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Omitted: official PSC–NAICS crosswalk entries for this specific code must be verified in the PSC Manual spreadsheet; no discrete NAICS mapping is reproduced here because the official crosswalk must be consulted for procurement-specific mapping. Not specified by official sources.²

Contracting considerations

• Reporting and classification: Agencies must record the PSC value in FPDS/SAM for construction awards when the procurement’s purpose aligns with the PSC label; the PSC Manual governs code assignment and change requests.¹
• Scope articulation: Solicitations that will be reported under PSC Y1JA should explicitly define work scope (new construction vs. renovation, sitework, systems) and list the applicable NAICS and other contracting data in solicitation documents; the PSC Manual provides governance but not solicitation-level scope language.²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the authoritative source for the PSC and its codes?
  A: The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source for PSC definitions, updates, and procedures; agencies reference that manual for PSC assignment, administrative changes, and how PSC values are published. ¹

• Q: Does PSC Y1JA include exhibit design services (graphics, interpretive media)?
  A: PSC Y1JA specifically labels construction of museum and exhibition buildings; exhibit design and nonbuilding exhibit services are typically classified under other PSCs. The PSC Manual does not enumerate every inclusion/exclusion at the solicitation level. ²

• Q: How do I find the NAICS code commonly paired with this PSC for a solicitation?
  A: Agencies list the NAICS in solicitation documents; the PSC Manual and its PSC–NAICS crosswalk spreadsheet are the official references for mapping PSC values to one or more NAICS codes used in reporting. ²
