PSC D304: IT and Telecom - Telecommunications and Transmission — Active Federal SAM.gov Contracts & NAICS Crosswalk

Federal procurement intelligence, spending breakdown, NAICS/NIGP crosswalk, and contract capture guide for PSC D304 (IT and Telecom - Telecommunications and Transmission).

Product and Service Code (PSC) D304 — IT and Telecom - Telecommunications and Transmission — is an official federal procurement classification within Portfolio D — IT and Telecommunications Services managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) under the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) Product and Service Codes Manual. Across federal agencies, contracting officers obligate approximately $3.1 Billion annually under PSC D304, with 215+ Bids active solicitations, pre-solicitation notices, and task order RFQs circulating on SAM.gov and agency e-Buy portals. While a 6-digit NAICS code defines a contractor's overall industry and Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard, PSC D304 specifies the exact service (legacy d3) deliverable being purchased on the contract line item (CLIN). In federal solicitation architecture, PSC D304 is most frequently paired with Primary NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), which carries an SBA small business size standard of 1,500 Employees. Major buying commands—led by Department of Defense (DISA) (55% of spend), Department of Homeland Security (16%), and Department of the Interior (10%)—use PSC D304 to categorize statements of work encompassing Long-Haul Fiber Optic Transmission, Microwave Links & Tactical Base Telecom; Land Mobile Radio (LMR) P25 Public Safety & Military Base Dispatch Networks; and Undersea Cable, Terrestrial Trunked Radio & Secure Voice Switch Maintenance. Understanding how contracting officers cross-walk PSC D304 with NAICS 517111 is critical because many agencies filter dynamic small business searches, GSA e-Buy distributions, and historical FPDS incumbent spend analyses by PSC rather than NAICS alone. Procurement teams issuing awards under PSC D304 utilize a mix of open-market SAM.gov solicitations and pre-competed contract vehicles such as GSA EIS / MAS. Depending on the acquisition threshold and market research results from Sources Sought notices, contracting officers frequently restrict PSC D304 competitions to certified small businesses—including 8(a) Business Development participants, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), and HUBZone firms. Offerors responding to PSC D304 RFPs must demonstrate strict compliance with applicable FAR and DFARS clauses, deliverable quality standards, and supply-chain or labor regulations. For contractors expanding across both federal and state/local (SLED) markets, PSC D304 maps directly to NIGP Commodity/Service Code 915-79 (Telecommunication Services, Wired, Wireless, and VoIP) used by state procurement portals, municipal purchasing departments, public universities, and K-12 school districts.
