PSC Y1QA

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a standardized taxonomy the U.S. federal government uses to classify goods and services in procurement records, solicitations, and award reporting. PSC codes feed FPDS/SAM reporting, support spend analysis, and are maintained through the PSC Manual published on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC Y1QA is listed in the PSC Manual as "CONSTRUCTION OF RESTORATION OF REAL PROPERTY (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE)." Agencies commonly apply this PSC to procure construction, restoration, or rehabilitation work on government-owned or non‑government property where the primary purpose is restoration, stabilization, or similar construction activities as recorded in federal award data. ¹
