Which U.S. state governments have publicly disclosed contracts with Palantir and where are those contracts posted?
Executive summary
Public reporting supplied here documents an expanding portfolio of federal Palantir contracts—recorded on federal trackers such as USASpending and spotlighted in outlets like The Hill, Reuters and FedScoop—but the materials provided do not enumerate any U.S. state governments that have publicly posted Palantir contracts [1] [2] [3] [4]. Because the dataset supplied focuses on federal awards and commentary, a definitive list of state disclosures cannot be drawn from these sources alone [1] [2] [4].
1. Federal visibility: where Palantir contracts are publicly posted and reported
Federal contract actions and award records for Palantir appear in government procurement databases and are the focus of contemporary reporting: USASpending hosts contract records for Palantir awards (example entry in the supplied set) and investigative reporting has documented large federal programs and headline awards involving ICE, the Department of Defense and other civilian agencies [1] [5] [6] [7]. Media coverage from The Hill and Reuters has detailed Palantir’s major federal wins and the controversies around them, reflecting that much of the public documentation and debate has centered on federal procurement and oversight [2] [3].
2. State-level disclosure: an absence in the provided reporting, not proof of absence in reality
The supplied sources do not identify any specific U.S. state governments that have publicly posted Palantir contracts on state procurement portals or transparency sites; the conversation in these materials is dominated by federal awards, congressional inquiries and national-level scrutiny [2] [6] [4]. That lack of mention in the provided reporting should not be taken as confirmation that no states have contracts with Palantir—only that the documents and articles provided here do not contain or point to state-level contract postings [2] [4].
3. Why state disclosures can be hard to find—and why reporting focuses on the federal level
Journalistic and policy reporting in this set emphasizes Palantir’s federal footprint because of the sheer scale and policy implications of federal programs (ICE, DoD, IRS-related reporting) and the structured public record that federal trackers and Congressional correspondence create [2] [6] [7]. State procurement practices are decentralized—states use different portals, FOIA regimes and commercial contracting rules—so a dispersed landscape of state disclosures requires per‑state searching beyond the federal-focused sources provided here [4]. Academic and watchdog commentary in the set also urges greater contractor transparency and human‑rights due diligence, underscoring why advocates demand searchable public contract records at every government level even when current reporting emphasizes federal deals [8].
4. Where to look (based on what this reporting confirms) to find contract documents
For federal awards, USASpending is a primary public record for contract actions and is cited in the collected materials as a repository of Palantir contract entries [1] [5]. The reporting also points to agency announcements and oversight letters—such as Congressional correspondence to Palantir and agency press releases cited in the packet—that are reliable places to find contract descriptions and procurement justifications for federal work [6] [7]. The supplied sources do not provide links to specific state procurement portals or state postings for Palantir contracts, so any search for state disclosures must extend beyond these materials into individual state procurement websites, state transparency portals or state-level FOIA requests—none of which are enumerated in the supplied reporting [2] [4].
5. Bottom line: what can be answered from the provided sources—and what cannot
From the materials provided, the demonstrable public record and media attention are concentrated on federal Palantir contracts (USASpending entries and national reporting) and not on an enumerated list of state governments that have posted contracts with Palantir [1] [2] [3] [4]. The supplied reporting does not list state contract postings; therefore it is not possible, on the basis of these sources alone, to name which U.S. states have publicly disclosed Palantir contracts or to point to the exact state-hosted URLs for such contracts [1] [2] [4]. Independent follow-up—searching individual state procurement sites, open‑records requests, and state transparency databases—is required to produce a definitive, state‑by‑state inventory.
