Research Findings

Investigation reveals Palantir Technologies operates through a subsidiary structure with Palantir USG, Inc. serving as the federal government division since 2008, led by Akash Jain as President and CTO. The company uses CAGE code 470F5 and UEI FSY4LVSBGWB7 for federal contracting. USASpending.gov data shows Palantir has received over $1.9 billion in federal contracts since 2008, with the Department of Defense representing $1.65 billion of total obligations. Major contract vehicles include a $10 billion Army enterprise agreement, $1.3 billion Project Maven contract through 2029, and over $180 million in IRS contracts since 2018.

The company's contracting spans multiple agencies through various business identifiers and specialized cloud services. Key systems include ImmigrationOS for ICE, TITAN battlefield intelligence for the Army, and data integration platforms across civilian agencies. Political connections include stock ownership by Trump administration officials Stephen Miller and Kara Frederick, while Democratic lawmakers have returned campaign contributions from Palantir executives amid controversy over surveillance capabilities. The subsidiary structure and specialized government division suggest sophisticated federal market positioning beyond the primary corporate entity.
