PSC D304 covered telecommunications and transmission services under the pre-2020 D3xx series. It was end-dated along with 67 other IT codes in the October 2020 restructure and does not appear in the current PSC Manual. FY2025 still recorded $932 million against it.
Two retired codes, one long contract
$746 million, roughly 80 percent of the code, sits under NAICS 517110, Wired Telecommunications Carriers, which the 2022 NAICS revision itself superseded with 517311. A retired PSC paired with a retired NAICS code is the signature of long-running circuit and transmission contracts that have been modified across two classification regimes without being recompeted. Satellite telecommunications 517410 adds $114 million, computer systems design 541512 adds $63 million, and facilities support 561210 adds $13 million.
The PSC and NAICS distinction, once
The PSC is chosen by the contracting officer to describe the buy; the NAICS code comes from the vendor's registration, and the two code systems are revised on entirely separate schedules.
For anyone selling transport, circuits, or transmission services today: the live codes are DG11 for access and usage, DG10 for managed network, and DG01 for network support labor. Keep D304 in your historical analysis to spot incumbents whose awards predate the restructure, and treat any current listing under it as a data-entry artifact.
