Inside DOL's Own Building: The H-1B Contractors Even the Government's Spending Data Can't Find

Every certified H-1B Labor Condition Application discloses the worker's actual physical worksite โ€” by law, not by choice. We matched that field directly against 200 Constitution Ave NW, the Frances Perkins Building, which is the Department of Labor's own dedicated headquarters โ€” not a shared federal complex. The match returned 171 certified placements from 46 different staffing and IT firms since FY2020. We then ran the top repeat placers through USASpending.gov, the federal government's own contract transparency database, to see whether taxpayers can actually tell who's supplying this labor. Most of the time, they can't.

๐ŸŽฏ How this connects: Our rubber-stamp report showed DOL is legally limited to checking LCAs for completeness, not truth โ€” a 0.9% denial rate across 7.9 million filings. This report asks a different question: once an LCA is certified, can the public actually find out who the sponsoring company is and what it's doing for the government? For the firms placing H-1B workers inside DOL's own headquarters, the answer is usually no.

Methodology

Every certified LCA (Form ETA-9035) is required to disclose the exact physical worksite address where the H-1B employee will work โ€” this is a mandatory field, not a voluntary disclosure, unlike the federal subcontracting reports (FSRS) that are supposed to reveal who's really performing on a government contract but frequently don't. We matched WORKSITE_ADDRESS1 across our local mirror of DOL's own LCA disclosure files (FY2020 through FY2026 year-to-date) against 200 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20210 โ€” the Frances Perkins Building, DOL's dedicated headquarters. Unlike a typical federal office building, this address is not shared with other agencies, which makes an address match here a clean signal rather than a coincidence.

For the top repeat placers identified this way, we separately searched USASpending.gov โ€” using a broad keyword match against the company name, across every fiscal year on record and every federal agency, checked as both a prime awardee and (via the site's Subawards toggle) as a disclosed subcontractor โ€” to see whether that company's presence at a federal worksite corresponds to any public contract record at all.

What's Inside DOL Headquarters

171 certified LCA filings match DOL's headquarters address since FY2020, from 46 distinct employers. The job titles are almost entirely software and systems work โ€” Software Developers (103 combined), Systems Software Developers (20), Computer Systems Engineers/Architects (12), Network and Systems Administrators (5), Information Security Analysts (1) โ€” consistent with staff-augmentation placements supporting DOL's internal IT operations, not policy or enforcement staff. 158 of 171 were certified (92.4%), 1 was denied, 7 withdrawn, 5 certified then withdrawn.

* 30 rows carry a populated job title and point-of-contact title but a blank employer-name field โ€” a parsing gap in this batch of our historical import, not a redaction. We're treating these as unresolved rather than attributing them to any company. โ€  Perspecta Enterprise Solutions LLC was acquired by Peraton in 2021; these are very likely the same corporate entity operating under two names across different filing years, shown separately here because that's how each LCA was actually filed. โ€ก Combined across two spellings of the same registered name appearing in DOL's own data. Placements continue into the current fiscal year โ€” VAK IT Systems Inc filed again for a DOL HQ worksite in March 2026.

The USASpending Cross-Check

We took the seven biggest repeat placers from the table above and searched for each one in USASpending.gov โ€” broadest possible net, every fiscal year, every federal agency, prime awards and disclosed subcontracts both. The question: does this company's presence inside a federal building correspond to a public record of a federal contract anywhere?

Five of seven โ€” including the single biggest placer at DOL headquarters, Raas Infotek LLC with 33 certified LCAs โ€” have no prime contract, no disclosed subcontract, and no agency relationship of any kind on record in USASpending. Their only appearance in federal data at all is a Paycheck Protection Program loan from the 2020โ€“21 pandemic relief program, which has nothing to do with the DOL placement. The two exceptions cut in opposite, equally instructive directions:

Astor & Sanders Corporation is a real, fully disclosed Department of Labor prime contractor going back to 2008 โ€” E-Grants, the Enterprise Business Support System, unemployment-insurance identity-verification work โ€” currently on an active delivery order. When a company genuinely holds a federal contract, USASpending shows it clearly and in detail. That's the system working as intended, and it's the control case that validates the method: the absence of a record for the other five isn't a limitation of USASpending's search โ€” it's the actual state of public disclosure for those firms.
CybeCys, Inc. shows the failure mode precisely. It is a real, disclosed subcontractor โ€” for NIH, on the books for roughly $17.2 million in work under Deloitte and Guidehouse prime contracts. Its H-1B placement at DOL headquarters has no public contract trail anywhere. The company is contract-visible; this specific placement is not.

What We Ruled Out

Two extensions of this method were tried and didn't hold up โ€” worth reporting as negative results rather than leaving out:

Ruled OutDOL regional and field offices. We matched LCA worksite addresses against all five Wage and Hour Division regional office suites (Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco). Every hit that came back was a false positive once we checked the suite/floor field โ€” e.g. "Equisoft, Inc." repeatedly matches 1835 Market Street in Philadelphia, but on Suite 2910, not WHD's 19th floor. Regional offices sit as single leased floors inside large multi-tenant commercial buildings, and most LCA records don't carry suite-level precision, so street-address matching there is mostly noise. It also tracks substantively: these are small enforcement offices, not IT shops โ€” there's little reason to expect on-site software contractor placements there the way there is at headquarters.
Ruled OutBLS's own headquarters at 4600 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD. This address houses BLS, the U.S. Census Bureau, and NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information in the same federal complex โ€” several LCA rows in our data explicitly say "U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road." A raw address match there can't be attributed to DOL/BLS specifically without corroborating detail (we were able to confirm two individual placements as BLS-specific in a separate case, but only through outside verification, not the address alone). We excluded Suitland from this report's headline totals rather than mislabel Commerce Department placements as DOL's.

Investigative Assessment

NotableA company can have zero visible federal contract and still be legally placing H-1B workers inside a federal agency's own headquarters building. That's not necessarily a violation of any law โ€” LCA doesn't require the sponsoring employer to disclose its client relationship โ€” but it means the public transparency apparatus built for federal spending (USASpending, FPDS, FSRS) simply doesn't cover this labor supply chain. The LCA worksite field, required by immigration law for a different purpose, currently does more to reveal who's supplying contract labor to government buildings than the procurement-transparency system does.
NotableRaas Infotek LLC placed more H-1B workers at DOL headquarters over five years (33) than any other firm we found โ€” more than double the next closest identifiable company โ€” while showing zero contract or subcontract history anywhere in federal spending data. Whoever is actually paying Raas Infotek for this work, and under what contract vehicle, is not discoverable through any public federal database we have access to.
WatchThe Astor & Sanders and CybeCys cases show this isn't simply a matter of "small companies don't get tracked." Astor & Sanders is small and fully tracked, because it holds its own direct DOL contract. CybeCys is tracked in detail โ€” just for the wrong agency. The determining factor appears to be whether a company holds a contract directly, not company size โ€” which means a large pool of DOL's actual on-site IT contractor workforce may be structured, deliberately or not, several subcontracting tiers away from any prime whose FSRS filings would ever mention them.
ContextNone of this requires assuming fraud on any individual company's part, and it doesn't establish whether these placements displaced or could have gone to American workers โ€” that's a separate, harder empirical question. What this data does establish is narrower and already significant: for most of the firms actually staffing DOL's headquarters IT operations with H-1B labor, there is no public record connecting them to a federal contract at all.
