PSC Z2ED

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system categorizes goods and services for federal procurement to standardize how contract actions are recorded, tracked, and analyzed across FPDS and related procurement systems. The PSC Manual (GSA) is the authoritative registry and is used by agencies and FPDS data-element guidance to assign PSCs for reporting and spend analysis. ¹

The PSC entry PSC Z2ED is defined in the PSC Manual as "Repair or Alteration of Ship Construction and Repair Facilities." Agencies use this PSC to identify procurements whose predominant work is repair or alteration of shipbuilding/ship-repair infrastructure and related facility systems when recording the Product or Service Code (FPDS data element 8A). ¹

What this PSC covers

• Shipyard structural repairs and renovations (bulkheads, load-bearing members, dock structure)
• Dry-dock floor, pit, and dock-pad repairs (concrete repair, resurfacing, leveling)
• Repair or alteration of cranes, material-handling systems, and overhead rail systems
• Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and utility upgrades within ship repair facilities
• Dock gate, fender, and berthing system repair and replacement
• Reconfiguration or refurbishment of workshops, fabrication bays, and support shops

Acquisition considerations

Acquisitions coded to Z2ED frequently involve ship-construction and ship-repair policies and specialized contract provisions (inspection, invoicing, schedule milestones, and change-order procedures). Solicitations and contract documents should clearly state the predominant work to support proper FPDS coding and application of any ship-construction/repair clauses. Agencies should follow PSC Manual guidance when multiple services or products appear in one action and select the single predominant PSC that best represents the action for FPDS data element 8A. Part 1371 provides regulatory context and clause references for ship construction and ship repair acquisitions. ²

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What specifically should be coded Z2ED on FPDS?
  A: Actions where the predominant work is repair or alteration of ship-construction or ship-repair facilities (structural, utilities, material-handling, dry-dock areas, and similar facility work) should be coded to Z2ED. The PSC Manual instructs that FPDS data element 8A be set to the predominant PSC for the action. ¹

• Q: How does Z2ED differ from Z1ED?
  A: Z1ED denotes routine maintenance (preventive and custodial) of ship construction and repair facilities, while Z2ED denotes repair or alteration (capital repairs, renovation, modification). Use Z2ED when work is restorative, structural, or reconfigurative beyond routine maintenance. ¹

• Q: Which contract clauses commonly apply to Z2ED work?
  A: Ship construction and ship repair acquisitions use specialized provisions for inspection, performance standards, invoicing, scheduling, and change orders. Contracting officers should consult Part 1371 for clause selection and compliance requirements that commonly accompany Z2ED-coded procurements. ²

• Q: Where can I find solicitations or awards coded Z2ED?
  A: FPDS/FPDS‑NG search and agency procurement portals include the Product or Service Code as data element 8A. Searching FPDS for Z2ED or reviewing solicitation metadata will surface actions recorded to this PSC; the PSC Manual provides reporting guidance. ¹
