PSC Y1KE

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is the government-wide taxonomy used in federal procurement to classify goods and services recorded in reporting systems such as FPDS and SAM. The Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source for the PSC list, descriptors, and update process. ¹

PSC Y1KE — Construction of Surface Mine Reclamation Facilities — is the short PSC descriptor used to identify construction work to reclaim surface-mined lands in federal contracting records. The PSC entries and historical spreadsheets maintained in the Manual provide the code and short descriptor used for award classification and reporting. ²
