PSC DG10 covers network delivered as a service. The manual describes physical and wireless networks managed as a service between core data centers, work areas, and offices, network services delivered alongside infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service offerings, cloud-based network management, and software-defined networking accessed by service contract or subscription. Term-licensed software rides along inside the code. FY2025 obligations were $1.34 billion.
Carriers and integrators, split evenly
Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111) took $371 million, 517410, Satellite Telecommunications, took $325 million, then Computer Systems Design Services (541512) at $147 million, Other Computer Related Services (541519) at $146 million, and 517110 at $82 million under the older wired carrier code. Roughly half the code goes to carriers and half to IT integrators, which reflects a genuine split in how agencies buy managed networking.
PSC and NAICS, once
A PSC is assigned per award by the buying office; a NAICS code is assigned by the same office on the solicitation and stays with the contract.
The boundary worth knowing is DG10 against DG11. Both look like "network as a service" in vendor marketing. The manual splits them by what you are actually paying for: DG10 is a managed network capability, DG11 is access and usage billing for circuits, cellular plans, and telephone service. If your offer is SD-WAN management, that is DG10.
PSC DG10 FAQ
What does PSC DG10 cover?
Network capability delivered as a managed service or subscription, including software-defined networking, cloud-based network management, and networking delivered as part of IaaS and PaaS offerings.
What NAICS codes win DG10 work?
Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111) at $371 million and Satellite Telecommunications (517410) at $325 million lead, with Computer Systems Design Services (541512) at $147 million and Other Computer Related Services (541519) at $146 million representing the integrator side.
How does DG10 differ from DG11?
DG10 is a managed network capability. DG11 is telecom access and usage billing: circuits, cellular service, internet, landlines, and 800 numbers. Vendors market both as network services, but the manual separates them.
Are subscription network licenses services or products?
Services. The manual states that software licensed for a defined period, service contracts, subscription-based provisioning, and device rentals are all treated as services, which keeps them in the D codes, not the 7 codes.
