# Palantir Contracts
Government-contract ledger for [[Palantir]] — the core of its revenue and the highest-signal OSINT surface. Palantir's business is overwhelmingly government, so its contract awards are the leading indicator of where state power and surveillance infrastructure are expanding.
> This is a **ledger that links out**: major standalone deals get their own records in `/Deals/` and major programs have their own concept pages. This table is the consolidated index. Values are award ceilings/totals as reported; cross-check live figures against USASpending.gov, FPDS, and SAM.gov.
## U.S. federal contracts
> [!important] Ceilings are not obligations
> Two rows below are **vehicle ceilings**, not awarded money: the Army Enterprise Agreement ($10B, ten years) and the Maven ceiling ($1.3B+). A ceiling is the most a vehicle could pay out over its life; an obligation is money actually awarded. They are flagged inline rather than split into a second table because this ledger's obligated rows and its two ceilings are already far apart in magnitude and the inline marking keeps the chronology readable — but **never sum this column.** [[Anduril Contracts]] applies the same distinction.
| Program / contract | Agency | Value | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Army Enterprise Agreement | U.S. Army | 🔶 **$10B CEILING** | Aug 2025 | **Not an obligation** — a ten-year enterprise-agreement ceiling consolidating ~75 separate contracts |
| [[Project Maven]] (Maven Smart System) | DoD / all branches | 🔶 **$1.3B+ CEILING** | ceiling raised May 2025 | **Not an obligation.** AI targeting. **Became an official Pentagon program of record in August 2026** (not May 2025 — see [[Maven Smart System]]); oversight moved from [[NGA]] to [[Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office]] and future contracting to the **U.S. Army** under Deputy Secretary Steve Feinberg's 2026-03-09 memo.

## Procurement pattern
The recurring Palantir template: **sole-source / emergency procurement → integration of previously-siloed datasets → multi-year extension → permanent infrastructure dependency.** First proven at scale during COVID (NHS, HHS Protect), then replicated at the [[IRS]], [[ICE]], and across the [[DOGE-Palantir Nexus]]. See the company page [[Palantir]] for the full COVID-era narrative.
## Monitoring sources (for the watch sweep)
- **USASpending.gov** — recipient profile for Palantir; new obligations and modifications.
- **FPDS / SAM.gov** — federal procurement data and active solicitations.
- **Agency press + trade press** (FedScoop, Breaking Defense, The Register for UK).
- **UK contracts finder / Tussell** — UK public-sector awards.
- Lobbying that precedes awards — cross-reference the FARA weekly-delta tool and [[Deals Hub]].
## Feeder contracts — the blind spot in this ledger
This table counts what Palantir is **paid**. It cannot see what is paid to **fill Palantir's tables** — the data-broker, identity-resolution, and telemetry awards that go to other vendors, never appear on a Palantir contract profile, and are where the capability is actually purchased.
First documented instance: the [[ICE LexisNexis Data Bridge Contract]] (Aug 10, 2026), a ~$6.7M sole-source bridge to [[LexisNexis Risk Solutions]] issued explicitly to feed commercial identity data into ICE applications including Palantir. Standing method note: **for any Palantir government system, ask which feeder contracts hold it up.**
## Open questions to track
- Total federal obligations YTD vs. prior year (USASpending delta).
- New agency penetrations (which department signs Palantir next).
- **Feeder contracts** supporting each Palantir system — who supplies the data, on what vehicle, and when it expires.
- Any contract losses, protests, or non-renewals (e.g., the NYC Health + Hospitals non-renewal — see [[Purge Palantir]]).
