PSC 7B22 covers computing hardware and software products for servers and converged appliances: physical and virtual server environments, tools, operating systems including Windows, Linux, and UNIX, and virtualization software. High performance computing products are excluded and belong to 7B20. FY2025 obligations were $1.27 billion.
Operating systems are not in a software code
Server operating systems and hypervisors are classified here, with the servers, rather than in the 7A software codes. A perpetual Windows Server or virtualization license bought alongside hardware is 7B22. That single convention explains why a hardware code contains meaningful software spending, and why searching only 7A codes misses infrastructure software entirely.
The NAICS mix
541519, Other Computer Related Services, took $429 million and 334111, Electronic Computer Manufacturing, took $389 million, an almost even split between the reseller channel and the manufacturers. Then 513210, the current Software Publishers code, at $113 million, Computer Systems Design Services (541512) at $96 million, and 511210 at $68 million.
One line on the code systems
A PSC describes what the agency purchased and a NAICS code describes the industry of the firm that sold it.

Frequently Asked
PSC 7B22 questions, answered.
What does PSC 7B22 cover?
Server hardware and perpetually licensed server software, including physical and virtual server environments, converged appliances, operating systems, and virtualization software.
What NAICS codes win 7B22 work?
541519 at $429 million and Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111) at $389 million split most of FY2025 between the reseller channel and hardware manufacturers.
Are operating system licenses coded under 7B22?
Yes, when perpetually licensed. The manual places Windows, Linux, and UNIX operating systems and virtualization software inside the server product code, not the application software codes.
Does 7B22 include high performance computing?
No. HPC hardware and perpetual software has its own code, 7B20, and HPC support labor is DB01.
