- DHS awarded Palantir up to a billion dollars to implement AI tools
- Gotham and Foundry platforms to deliver large-scale operational data integration capabilities
- AI tools will support case management, threat identification and logistics coordination
The US Department of Homeland Security has entered into a five-year deal with Palantir Technologies worth up to $1 billion to expand the department’s use of advanced AI tools and data analytics platforms across multiple agencies.
This master purchase agreement allows individual DHS components to acquire Palantir platforms without entering into separate competitive contracts that establish pre-approved prices and terms that will be executed through task orders spread 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 planning.
Machine learning models and rule-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 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 artificial intelligence across hundreds of applications, from fraud detection to document processing and anomaly detection.
The new agreement consolidates software procurement and signals DHS’ intent 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 strengthens its role as a long-term federal technology supplier.
Government contracts currently represent about 55% of Palantir’s revenue, and this contract is likely to increase that share.
“If you’re interested in helping shape and deliver the next chapter of Palantir’s work across DHS, reach out to us,” a Palantir executive told employees.
The partnership also continues Palantir’s commitment to immigration and border-related systems, an area that has previously attracted public and political attention.
