The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has signed a $300 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc. to support the National Farm Security Action Plan and modernize service delivery for American farmers.
The agreement focuses on strengthening farm security as a national security priority while accelerating producer-first program delivery across USDA’s Farm Production and Conservation mission areas. Palantir will provide operational software to improve service delivery for farmers and field staff, enhance supply chain resilience, and help protect agricultural programs from fraud, abuse, and foreign adversary influence.
The initiative also advances USDA’s “One Farmer, One File” effort, aimed at reducing administrative burden through digital-first tools, faster payments, and streamlined disaster recovery.
“Protecting America’s farmland is protecting America itself, and this work gives USDA the visibility and speed needed to safeguard our food supply. Our farmers sustain this nation, and modern tools help us support them with greater precision,” USDA Chief Information Officer Sam Berry said.
“America depends on its farmers, and USDA is moving fast to give them the technology they need. They are raising the bar for what government can deliver for farmers, and we are honored to partner in that work,” Ali Monfre, Federal Engineering Lead at Palantir, added.
The partnership builds on the Landmark platform, which enabled rapid deployment of the $11 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance Program and record online enrollments.
