Government-Contract Transparency Register

PROBLEM: Palantir's largest government contracts are public facts with public values, but the platforms' work under them is not: the U.S. Army enterprise agreement of July 31, 2025 consolidated 75 contracts into one with a ceiling of up to $10 billion over 10 years; ICE awarded a $30 million contract in April 2025 to build "ImmigrationOS" (running through September 2027), on top of ICE contracts held since 2011; the UK NHS Federated Data Platform was awarded in November 2023 for up to £330 million over seven years. Ceilings are not obligated revenue, and the contracts themselves are not public in full — so the public knows the price but not the terms.

SOLUTION: A government-contract transparency register: every major government data-platform contract logged with its agency, value, ceiling versus obligated amount, and term — so the scale of government data work is on the record, contract by contract.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Army enterprise agreement July 31, 2025 (75 contracts, up to $10B ceiling, 10 years); ICE ImmigrationOS $30M (Apr 2025, through Sept 2027); ICE contracts since 2011; NHS Federated Data Platform up to £330M over 7 years (Nov 2023, competitive process).
