FY2025 federal contract obligations, USAspending.gov
PSC DC10 covers data center capability delivered as a service contract: offsite data center facilities using third-party resources, potentially as part of an infrastructure-as-a-service offering. The manual names colocation services, data center as a service, and managed service provider data centers explicitly, and treats term-licensed software bundled into those arrangements as part of the service. FY2025 obligations were $954 million.
Integrators in front of facility operators
Computer Systems Design Services (541512) took $519 million, more than half the code. 541511 follows at $94 million, then Computing Infrastructure Providers and Data Processing (518210) at $90 million, Other Computer Related Services (541519) at $80 million, and 334111, Electronic Computer Manufacturing, at $67 million. The colocation and hosting code is third, behind two integrator codes. Agencies are largely buying data center capacity through a systems integrator that arranges it, not directly from the facility operator.
The two codes, briefly
The PSC is the government's choice and so is the NAICS code, set on the solicitation.
For a colocation provider, that ordering is the whole lesson: your federal path often runs through a prime that is not in your industry. Watch DC10 for the capability and DC01 for the labor that supports it, and remember that 7C20 and 7C21 cover the physical data center products.
