FY2025 obligations by the NAICS code on the award

45% of the $1.1B obligated under DF10 in FY2025 went to awards coded NAICS 541512.

FY2025 federal contract obligations, USAspending.gov

PSC DF10 is DF01 delivered by subscription. The manual repeats the same scope, enterprise architecture, IT financial management, and IT strategy and planning, and then changes one thing: delivery as a service, by subscription, or by service contract, with term-licensed software included. Everything else, from architecture standardization to IT chargeback and spend management, is identical. FY2025 obligations were $1.15 billion.

A pure contract-shape distinction

So the DF01 and DF10 split is about how the requirement is bought, not what is being bought. Two agencies buying the same enterprise architecture capability will land in different PSCs if one hires architects and the other subscribes to an EA platform with services attached.

The NAICS mix

Computer Systems Design Services (541512) took $515 million, Other Computer Related Services (541519) took $351 million, 541511 took $99 million, Computing Infrastructure Providers and Data Processing (518210) took $58 million, and Computer Facilities Management Services (541513) took $38 million. Nearly the same profile as DF01, which is more evidence that the two codes describe one market.

One sentence on the code systems

The PSC answers what the agency bought and the NAICS code answers what industry the work belongs to.

Track DF01 and DF10 as one market. Between them they carried about $5.8 billion in FY2025, and neither half is optional if you sell here.

PSC DF10 FAQ

What does PSC DF10 cover?

IT management capability delivered as a service or subscription: enterprise architecture tooling and support, IT financial management including budgeting and chargeback, and IT strategy and planning.

What NAICS codes win DF10 work?

Computer Systems Design Services (541512) at $515 million and Other Computer Related Services (541519) at $351 million lead FY2025, followed by 541511 at $99 million and Computing Infrastructure Providers and Data Processing (518210) at $58 million.

Is DF10 different work from DF01?

No. The manual gives the two codes the same functional scope and separates them purely by delivery model. DF01 is labor, DF10 is subscription or service contract.

Should I bid both codes?

If you sell IT advisory or EA capability, yes. The same agency requirement can appear under either code depending on how the contracting office structures the buy, so a single-code alert will miss roughly half the market.
