ITSAC = IT Staff Augmentation Contracts, managed by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR). Agencies issue purchase orders naming specific individuals — the worker is identified, not just a job title. This data comes directly from the Texas LBB public contracts database.

Spending by Fiscal Year

Named Individual Workers (3 identified)

These workers are named by the state in public contract records. This is not an allegation — it is a public record. Workers appearing across multiple fiscal years or multiple contracts warrant additional scrutiny regarding visa status and American worker displacement.
