Big number, with a catch.

The Army announced on 31 July 2025 an Enterprise Service Agreement with Palantir worth up to $10 billion over ten years. Breaking Defense reported that it consolidates 75 contracts, 15 with Palantir as prime and 60 as subcontractor, and that the Army is only required to pay an undisclosed minimum. [1][2]
