Sole Source Justification for Contracts 360 Tool

This USDA sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GS‑35F‑0086U) secures Palantir Technologies’ Contracts360 platform for the Department’s financial‑review workflow needs. The order provides software licenses, custom configuration, integration with existing USDA systems, and ongoing operational support. Palantir’s solution is uniquely qualified because it already holds FedRAMP High, DoD IL‑5, and multiple ISO certifications, eliminating the time‑ and cost‑intensive re‑authorizations that any alternate vendor would require. The contract thus enables rapid deployment of a secure, enterprise‑scale analytics tool while preserving USDA data rights. • Software licensing, configuration, and integration services for the Contracts360 tool • High‑level security authorizations (FedRAMP High, DoD IL‑5, CMMC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) already in place • Sole‑source justification based on unique capability, cost‑ and schedule risk mitigation, and statutory authority GSAM 538.7104‑3(b)(ii)
