PSC Z2AB

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) is a standardized federal taxonomy used to classify products and services in federal procurements for consistent recording, reporting, and analysis across systems such as FPDS and SAM; the PSC list and guidance are maintained in the Product and Service Code Manual on Acquisition.gov. ¹

PSC Z2AB — Repair or Alteration of Conference Space and Facilities — identifies requirements for repair, renovation, or alteration work specifically tied to conference rooms, meeting centers, and directly related support spaces. Contracting offices use the PSC to report and classify awards and requirements in FPDS/SAM; the PSC Manual lists Z-series codes as repair/alteration real-property categories used for reporting and classification. ¹

What this PSC covers

• Interior finishes and refurbishment of conference rooms
• Audio-visual and presentation system repairs and upgrades
• Furniture repair, reconfiguration, or replacement within meeting spaces
• Partitioning, drywall, ceiling, and flooring repairs tied to conference use
• Accessibility and signage upgrades specific to meeting spaces
• HVAC, lighting, and electrical work confined to conference areas
• Ancillary support spaces directly tied to conference/function use

Specific inclusions and exclusions for Z2AB projects are not enumerated in the PSC Manual; contracting offices define precise scope at the solicitation level and in award documents. ¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type | Code | Descriptor

• | - | -
• PSC | Z1AB | Maintenance of Conference Space and Facilities
• PSC | Y1AB | Construction of Conference Space and Facilities
• PSC | Z2AA | Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings

The PSC Manual groups Z-series PSCs as repair/alteration codes and lists adjacent Z and Y codes for related maintenance and construction activities, but it does not mandate a single NAICS assignment for Z2AB. ¹

Acquisition context

PSC entries are reporting and classification tools and do not by themselves determine procurement method, contract type, or regulatory treatment; contracting officers apply procurement statutes and the FAR (and agency supplements) when conducting repair/alteration acquisitions. For construction-related acquisitions (including many repair and alteration actions), applicable FAR provisions addressing construction procurement and required contract forms should be considered. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does PSC Z2AB represent on an award or solicitation?
  Z2AB is the PSC label used to classify requirements and awards for repair or alteration work focused on conference and meeting spaces; contracting officers record the PSC in FPDS/SAM for reporting and analytics. ¹

• Does the PSC Manual prescribe a NAICS code to use with Z2AB?
  The PSC Manual does not prescribe a mandatory NAICS pairing for Z2AB; NAICS selection is made by the contracting office based on the predominant nature of the work and applicable NAICS guidance. Not specified by official sources ¹.

• How are PSCs used in federal systems such as FPDS and SAM?
  PSCs provide standardized service and product labels that contracting officers enter into award and solicitation records so FPDS and related systems can aggregate and report spending by product and service categories. ²

• Is a Z2AB requirement treated as “construction” under the FAR?
  Many repair and alteration actions are treated as construction for procurement and contract administration purposes when the scope meets FAR definitions; contracting officers determine applicability and apply relevant FAR clauses. ³
