PSC Z2EZ

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes how the U.S. federal government classifies goods and services in procurement records (used in FPDS and related systems) and is maintained through the PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov. PSCs enable consistent spend tracking, reporting, and category analysis across agencies, improving comparability among awards, solicitations, and contracts. The PSC Z2EZ is described in the PSC Manual as REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS and is applied where the primary effort is repair or alteration of industrial-type buildings not otherwise categorized. The Manual provides the official descriptor but does not supply exhaustive scope examples or mandated NAICS pairings for every PSC code, leaving specific NAICS assignment to the contracting activity per the work performed.¹

Typical scopes associated with PSC Z2EZ in procurement practice include:

• Structural repairs and adjustments to industrial facility frameworks.

The PSC Manual provides the descriptor but does not list exhaustive task-level inclusions; specific scope is defined in the solicitation or statement of work by the contracting officer.¹

Related NAICS and PSC codes

The PSC Manual does not mandate a single NAICS crosswalk for PSCs such as Z2EZ; contracting activities select NAICS codes based on the primary work performed and applicable NAICS guidance. Not specified by official sources.¹

Usage in federal reporting

PSC entries, including PSC Z2EZ, are recorded in FPDS and other federal procurement reporting tools to support spend analytics and category management. Agencies and analysts query FPDS by the PSC field for program- and spend-level views; NAICS and FAR parts are assigned at the solicitation/award level by the contracting officer according to the acquisition’s characteristics.¹

Frequently asked questions

• What is the official descriptor for PSC Z2EZ?
  The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov lists the official descriptor as REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. That descriptor is the authoritative label used in procurement records; individual solicitations define specific tasks and limits within that label.¹

• Does the PSC Manual specify required NAICS pairings for Z2EZ?
  The PSC Manual provides descriptors but does not prescribe required NAICS pairings for every PSC. Contracting officers determine NAICS based on the primary work performed and applicable NAICS regulations and guidance.¹

• Can Z2EZ be used for new construction contracts?
  Z2EZ describes repair or alteration activity. New construction is typically classified under construction NAICS and may be assigned a different PSC when the primary effort is new construction rather than repair/alteration; contracting officers should classify according to the acquisition’s primary purpose.¹

• How can I find historical spending or awards recorded under Z2EZ?
  Use FPDS queries (ezSearch or other FPDS tools) and downstream reporting systems that expose the PSC field to filter awards by the 4-character PSC code. Many agencies also provide FPDS extracts and datasets for spend analysis.²
