The US Department of Homeland Security has entered into a five-year agreement
with Palantir Technologies valued at up to $1 billion aimed at expanding the
department's use of advanced AI tools and data analytics platforms across
multiple agencies.

This blanket purchasing agreement allows individual DHS components to acquire
Palantir platforms without initiating separate competitive contracts,
establishing pre-approved pricing and terms that will be executed through task
orders distributed over the five-year period.

All DHS agencies will gain faster access to Palantir services, including the
Gotham and Foundry platforms, which serve as the technical backbone for
large-scale operational data integration and analysis.

Expanding DHS access to Palantir platforms

Palantir's platforms are expected to support a wide range of operational
functions, including investigative case management, threat identification,
logistics coordination, and emergency response planning.  Machine learning
models and rules-based analytics embedded in these systems can process data
from enforcement databases, biometric systems, financial records, travel
history, and other sources to generate risk assessments, link analyses, and
operational dashboards.

This integration aims to streamline decision-making processes, unify previously
fragmented datasets, and improve situational awareness across multiple DHS
missions.  The department is already using AI across hundreds of applications,
ranging from fraud detection to document processing and anomaly identification.

The new agreement consolidates software procurement and signals DHS's
intention to accelerate AI integration into frontline operations - by
standardizing platforms like Gotham and Foundry, the department can reduce
redundancy, simplify workflow management, and increase operational efficiency.

Gotham allows agencies to analyze and visualize both structured and
unstructured data, while Foundry provides data integration and modeling
capabilities that enable mission-specific applications to be built on top of a
shared data layer.

For Palantir, the agreement further solidifies its role as a long-term federal
technology supplier.  Government contracts currently represent roughly 55% of
Palantir's revenue, and this contract will likely increase that share.

"If you are interested in helping shape and deliver the next chapter of
Palantir's work across DHS, please reach out," a Palantir executive told
employees.

The partnership also continues Palantir's involvement in immigration and
border-related systems, an area that has previously drawn public and policy
attention.
