Where should PSCs be included according to guidelines?

Including PSCs, or Product Service Codes, at the contract line item number (CLIN) level is essential because CLINs represent specific items or services within a federal contract. This granularity allows for accurate identification and categorization of the goods or services being procured. By placing PSCs with each CLIN, it facilitates clearer reporting and analysis of the types of products or services purchased, which is crucial for budget tracking, performance measurement, and compliance with various federal contracting regulations.

This practice ensures that stakeholders can easily assess the contract's execution related to specific services or products and enhances the transparency and accountability of procurement efforts. It also aligns with federal acquisition regulations that emphasize precision in categorizing contracting actions.
