Get one PSC code

Resolve a single Product & Service Code to its official name, description, category-management hierarchy, active/retired status, and prime-award usage count. Free with any key. For the concepts (Service vs Product, the hierarchy, why retired codes are kept), see Search PSC codes.

Parameters

  • code (path): a 1-4 character alphanumeric PSC (e.g. R425, 7030). Case-insensitive.

No query parameters are accepted.

Response

{
  "code": "R425",
  "name": "SUPPORT- PROFESSIONAL: ENGINEERING/TECHNICAL",
  "full_description": "Engineering and Technical Services",
  "psc_type": "Service",
  "category": "Professional Services",
  "subcategory": "Technical and Engineering Services (non-IT)",
  "parent": "R4 - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES",
  "is_active": true,
  "award_count": 145455
}

Every field is documented under Search PSC codes. full_description, category, subcategory, and parent may be null on some (mostly retired) codes.

Errors

  • 400: the code is not 1-4 alphanumeric characters.
  • 404: a well-formed code that is not in the catalog (it has never appeared on a federal award we hold). The body names the code.
  • 401: missing API key. 429: rate limit exceeded.
