Frequently asked questions
What is PSC AG13?
AG13 is the research and development code in the federal Product and Service Code (PSC) Manual for energy r&d services; energy supply; experimental development, under AG (Energy R&D Services) and AG1 (R&D – Energy – Coal). Agencies put a PSC on every contract to record what they bought.

Most federal contract dollars under PSC AG13 go with NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)), according to USAspending.gov.
