Integrated Award Environment (IAE) Industry Community

On October 24 and 30 2020, GSA’s Integrated Award Environment (IAE) will incorporate additions and revisions to Product Service Codes (PSCs). PSCs classify the products, services, and research and development items purchased by the Federal Government. They are used in collecting and analyzing data about federal procurements. IAE will carry out the following changes regarding the PSCs:

• Activate 155 new research and development (R&D) PSCs while end-dating 721 R&D PSC
• Activate 42 new information technology PSCs while end-dating 71 IT PSC
• Activate two product codes--PSC 6835 (new) and PSC 6830 (revised
• Activate PSC Q901 Healthcare Environmental Cleaning, renamed from Aseptic Housekeeping Services

PSC changes will be deployed throughout the IAE systems, as follows:

• October 24, 2020 - PSC tables will be updated in SAM.gov; Entities registering or renewing their registration  will be able to select from the updated PSCs 
• October 30, 2020 - Agencies’ contract writing systems can submit contract actions with the PSC changes
• Updates to the PSC application programming interface (API), which provides third-party applications access to the PSC data, will be available prior to the FPDS-NG deployment to accommodate application usage. Reference: https://open.gsa.gov/api/PSC-Public-API/. 
• October 30, 2020 - The PSC Manual (available at FPDS.gov → Worksite → PSC Manual) and other supporting documents will be updated and posted to reflect these changes.
