About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) Platform contract, specifically modifying two existing Firm-Fixed Price contracts (FA8806-23-C-0001 and FA8806-23-C-0002) with Palantir. The platform provides critical warfighter capabilities, managing over 2.4 Petabytes of sensitive government data across multiple security classifications and supporting Space Systems Command and Space Operations Command with data integration, analytics, and API capabilities. The sole-source justification was based on Palantir being the only vendor capable of providing the required Space Joint Targeting Cycle capability without unacceptable delays, with the contract modifications totaling $55.8M and extending services through June 15, 2025. The contract includes cloud-hosted software licenses that operate in secure environments supporting classifications from Unclassified to Special Access Program (SAP). While 18 contractors on the Data Software Services IDIQ contract expressed interest, the government determined there was insufficient time to conduct a competitive procurement before the December 15, 2024 deadline, with plans to release competitive Full and Open Procurement (FOPR) requirements before June 15, 2025.
Notice text
The DaaS Platform Contracts provide for the procurement of licenses; licenses acquired provides the Government with access to a commercial software platform accessible anywhere via cloud hosting services. This is important as the contractor provides a comprehensive Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform to support the Space Systems Command (SSC) and has been operationally accepted by Space Operations Command (USSPACECOM) for critical War fighter utilization. The platform integrates and manages large-scale data from various sources, including structured and unstructured datasets, while enabling advanced data analytics. To date, the platform has ingested over 2.4 Petabytes of sensitive Government information, critical for Department of Defense operations. It operates in secure environments with support for multiple classifications, such as Unclassified, Secret, TS/SCI, and Special Access Program (SAP). The DaaS solution includes open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for seamless data sharing across applications, ensuring support for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Joint Forces in space operations. The data shared via these APIs is crucial for DoD and Intelligence Community space operations.
Awarded contract FA8806-23-C-0002 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-12-16.
