Research Findings

The investigation definitively establishes that Palantir Technologies government contracts DO exist under multiple entity structures, contradicting any notion of absence. USASpending.gov records show Palantir Technologies Inc. (CAGE code 470F5) has received over $1.9 billion in federal contracts since 2008, with its subsidiary Palantir USG Inc. (CAGE code 51W88) operating as a separate contracting entity for government work. The Department of Defense accounts for 87% of tracked obligations at $1.65 billion, followed by significant contracts with ICE ($248.3 million), IRS ($180+ million), and other agencies.

Recent major awards include a $10 billion Army enterprise contract in August 2025, a $1.3 billion DoD Project Maven contract, and a $217.8 million Space Force contract through Palantir USG. The dual entity structure allows Palantir to operate through both the parent company and its government-focused subsidiary, with distinct CAGE codes and UEIs for federal contracting purposes. Congressional stock trading records show multiple representatives have traded Palantir shares while the company receives substantial government payments, raising potential conflict of interest concerns.
