Frequently asked questions
What is PSC AR17?
AR17 is the research and development code in the federal Product and Service Code (PSC) Manual for r&d – space: aeronautics/space technology (commercialized), under AR (Space R&D Services) and AR1 (R&D – Aero & Space Tech). Agencies put a PSC on every contract to record what they bought.
What is the difference between a PSC and a NAICS code?
A PSC describes what the government is buying. A NAICS code describes the industry of the business doing the work, and it sets the SBA size standard for small business set-asides. Every contract notice has both.
