- DHS awarded Palantir up to $1 billion to deploy AI tools
- Gotham and Foundry platforms to provide large-scale operational data integration capabilities
- AI tools will support case management, threat identification and logistics coordination.
The U.S. 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 artificial intelligence tools and data analytics platforms across multiple agencies.
This blanket purchase agreement allows individual DHS components to acquire Palantir platforms without entering into separate competitive contracts, establishing pre-approved prices and terms that will be executed through task orders distributed over a 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.
Expand DHS Access to Palantir Platforms
Palantir 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 built into these systems can process data from law enforcement databases, biometric systems, financial records, travel histories, and other sources to generate risk assessments, link analysis, and operational dashboards.
This integration aims to streamline decision-making processes, unify previously fragmented data sets, and improve situational awareness across multiple DHS missions.
The department already uses AI in hundreds of applications, ranging from fraud detection to document processing and anomaly identification.
The new agreement consolidates software acquisition and signals DHS’s intention to accelerate the integration of AI into frontline operations: by standardizing platforms like Gotham and Foundry, the department can reduce redundancy, simplify workflow management and increase operational efficiency.
Gotham enables agencies to analyze and visualize structured and unstructured data, while Foundry provides data modeling and integration capabilities that enable mission-specific applications to be built on top of a shared data layer.
For Palantir, the deal further cements its role as a long-term federal technology provider.
Government contracts currently account for about 55% of Palantir’s revenue, and this contract will likely increase that proportion.
“If you are interested in helping shape and execute the next chapter of Palantir’s work across DHS, please contact us,” a Palantir executive told employees.
The partnership also continues Palantir’s involvement in immigration and border-related systems, an area that has previously attracted public and policy attention.
