# Jacobs Solutions A large U.S. engineering, infrastructure, and technical-services contractor (formerly Jacobs Engineering), operating across water and wastewater systems, transportation, environmental remediation, and national-security programs for federal, state, and municipal clients. ## The Palantir partnership In **2022** Jacobs and [[Palantir]] announced a strategic partnership focused on "data and technology solutions for infrastructure and national security markets," with a stated emphasis on **water and wastewater treatment**. It is one of the clearer examples of Palantir's channel strategy: rather than selling directly to thousands of municipal utilities, embed the platform beneath a prime contractor that already holds the operating contracts. That structure became a liability in **August 2026**, when Jacobs agreed to end the Palantir partnership as part of its winning bid to operate Milwaukee's wastewater system — see [[Jacobs MMSD Palantir Divestiture]]. Whether Jacobs unwinds the 2022 partnership generally or only carves it out of that contract was unresolved as of that date. > [!note] Stub > Minimum-viable page created to support [[Jacobs MMSD Palantir Divestiture]].
