PSC Z2FA

Overview

The Product Service Code (PSC) system standardizes U.S. federal procurement classification for goods and services, supporting consistent entry in systems such as FPDS and SAM and enabling governmentwide tracking, analysis, and reporting. The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative source for PSC assignments, nomenclature, and maintenance processes for PSC codes and descriptors. ¹

PSC Z2FA — REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF FAMILY HOUSING FACILITIES — is the PSC label used to classify federal procurements that obtain repair or alteration services for family housing facilities. Agencies record PSC values on FPDS award records; historical FPDS data show Z2FA applied across multiple construction and specialty-trade NAICS when agencies report repair/alteration projects on family housing. ²

Related NAICS and PSC codes

Type | Code | Descriptor

• | - | - NAICS | 238990 | All Other Specialty Trade Contractors — commonly paired with Z2FA in FPDS award records. ⁴ NAICS | 238210 | Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors — appears in FPDS entries associated with family-housing repair/alteration tasks. ⁵ NAICS | 541310 | Architectural Services — used on design/architectural task orders tied to family housing repairs and alterations. ⁶ PSC | Z1FA | MAINTENANCE OF FAMILY HOUSING FACILITIES — maintenance (Z1-series) is distinct from repair/alteration (Z2-series) in PSC reporting. ¹

Contracting considerations

• Distinction between maintenance and repair/alteration: PSC practice separates recurring maintenance activities (Z1-series) from repair, modernization, or alteration projects (Z2-series); contract type selection, performance work statements, and pricing approach should reflect whether work is preventive/recurring maintenance or project-based repair/alteration. ¹
• Typical solicitation NAICS: agencies commonly pair Z2FA work with specialty-trade and construction NAICS (examples include 238990, 238210, 541310) in FPDS award reporting; solicitation drafting should select the NAICS that best matches the dominant scope of work. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What is the formal PSC label for family-housing repairs?
  The formal PSC label is Z2FA — REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF FAMILY HOUSING FACILITIES, as listed in the PSC Manual used for FPDS reporting. ¹

• How does Z2FA differ from Z1FA?
  Z1FA covers routine maintenance of family housing facilities; Z2FA covers repair, modernization, or alteration projects that change or restore structure, systems, or finishes. The PSC Manual and FPDS reporting treat maintenance and repair/alteration as separate reporting categories. ¹

• Which NAICS codes should contractors track for Z2FA opportunities?
  Agencies commonly report Z2FA awards under NAICS such as 238990, 238210, and 541310 in FPDS; NAICS selection depends on the dominant scope and the solicitation’s work statement. ²

• Is there a single procurement location to search for Z2FA solicitations?
  FPDS displays historical awards that used Z2FA and shows associated NAICS pairings; use SAM.gov for active opportunities and agency procurement forecast tools for near-term solicitations. ²

• Where can I check PSC definitions or search PSC codes?
  The PSC Manual on Acquisition.gov is the authoritative reference; searchable PSC tools (psctool.us) can assist with selection and mapping. ³
