PSC Z1HB

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system is a four‑character federal taxonomy that classifies products, services, and R&D procured across civilian and defense agencies; PSCs standardize FPDS/SAM reporting, support category management, and enable spend analytics. ¹

PSC Z1HB — MAINTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT-OWNED GOVERNMENT-OPERATED (GOGO) R&D FACILITIES — is a reporting classification used in FPDS to identify maintenance and facilities support actions performed on government‑owned, government‑operated research and development buildings and associated infrastructure. Agencies report maintenance contracts for GOGO R&D sites under this PSC in award records and task orders. ²

Procurement notes

• Reporting and selection: Contract line items and award records should use the PSC that best describes the predominant work reported to FPDS; agencies frequently pair Z1HB with NAICS 561210 for facilities support task orders. ²
• Service‑contract reporting: Contracts assigned to Z1HB may be subject to service‑contract inventory and reporting requirements when statutory thresholds or agency policies apply; see PGI and DFARS/agency guidance for reporting rules. ⁴

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How does PSC Z1HB differ from Z1HA?
  A: Z1HB specifically designates maintenance of government‑owned, government‑operated (GOGO) R&D facilities; Z1HA covers maintenance of government‑owned, contractor‑operated (GOCO) R&D facilities. Both are discrete PSCs used for FPDS reporting. ²

• Q: Which NAICS typically pairs with Z1HB in solicitations?
  A: Solicitations and FPDS records commonly pair Z1HB with NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for bundled facilities and operations support task orders; other NAICS may apply depending on scope. ²

• Q: Where is the official PSC guidance and full manual?
  A: The Product and Service Codes Manual and related PSC guidance are published on Acquisition.gov; the manual is the authoritative source for code definitions, activation history, and maintenance procedures. ³

• Q: Do PSCs determine procurement rules or performance standards?
  A: PSCs are classification tools for reporting and analysis; they do not set procurement policy or contract performance standards. Applicable FAR/agency clauses and the contract statement of work establish requirements. ⁴
