PSC
What the government is buying
PSC labels cover a product, service, research area, construction activity, repair category, or other acquisition purpose. Read the official includes, excludes, and notes when labels overlap.
Free lookup tool
Search by what the government is buying
Type an official code, product, or service. Add up to ten codes to a shortlist, compare them, then search all selected codes together. Results come from official names and scope text, not an AI guess.
Historical codes can appear in older solicitations and records.
Your PSC shortlist
Add likely codes from the dropdown. Then read each official scope and search the selected codes together before deciding what fits.
PSC and NAICS answer different questions
A Product and Service Code describes what a federal buyer is purchasing. A North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code describes the industry assigned to the work. One solicitation can carry both, and neither code certifies that a business is qualified.
NAICS
The industry assigned to the work
NAICS connects the acquisition to an industry and its small business size standard. Use the NAICS code finder when your question is about what your business does.
Solicitation
The contracting office assigns the codes
Treat this lookup as a shortlist, not an assignment. Confirm the codes shown on the solicitation and ask the listed contracting contact when a classification appears wrong.

How to use this finder
Build a shortlist
- Search with a code or a plain-English description of what the government is buying.
- Compare the official name, category, includes, excludes, and notes for each likely match.
- Add the relevant codes to your shortlist, then search those codes together for current opportunities.
Active codes appear by default. Historical codes are available for older records but should not be treated as current merely because they match a phrase.
Important limits
- A matching phrase does not prove that a code fits the acquisition. Read the official scope and solicitation.
- Opportunity counts change as notices open and close. They do not predict fit, eligibility, or award likelihood.
