State of Texas

The Texas Department of Information Resources (TX DIR) Information Technology Staff Augmentation Contracts (ITSAC) is a cooperative purchasing program designed to provide Texas state agencies, local governments, and other eligible entities with a streamlined process for acquiring IT staffing services. ITSAC enables organizations to quickly access a wide range of IT professionals, including project managers, developers, cybersecurity experts, and business analysts, through pre-vetted vendors. This contract vehicle helps reduce the time and administrative burden associated with traditional procurement processes, ensuring that government entities can efficiently meet their technology needs while maintaining compliance with state regulations.

One of the primary benefits of ITSAC is its flexibility, allowing agencies to procure IT staff on a short-term or long-term basis without the need for a lengthy request-for-proposal (RFP) process. Vendors under the ITSAC contract are pre-approved, ensuring they meet stringent qualifications and offer competitive, market-aligned rates. This contract model not only enhances cost efficiency but also provides agencies with access to a diverse talent pool that can support critical IT initiatives, from software development to IT infrastructure management. By leveraging the ITSAC program, Texas agencies can focus on their core mission while ensuring they have the right IT expertise in place to drive innovation and operational excellence.
