DENVER, Dec. 7, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) today
announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has renewed its work with the company to continue delivering
leading-edge software and digital capabilities to modernize the
nation's public health infrastructure. Using the Palantir platform,
the agency will be able to employ scalable technology to plan,
manage, and respond to future outbreaks and public health
incidents.
This five year, $443M contract
will streamline Palantir's existing programs – including Health and
Human Services (HHS) Protect, Administration for Strategic
Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Engage, Tiberius, and DCIPHER –
into a singular, efficient vehicle. This new approach demonstrates
the CDC's leadership in driving inter-agency public health, and the
length of the contract allows for long-term planning and
operational consistency for the program and its partners.
Under this deal, Palantir's technology will support the CDC's
"Common Operating Picture", a unique inter-agency enterprise
investment that secures strong collaboration across the federal
government, jurisdictional health departments, private sector
entities, and other key health partners. By employing Palantir's
software, these groups can continue to make advances in broader
disease surveillance and outbreak response, supply chain
resiliency, and the orchestration of medical countermeasures to
public health emergencies. For example, this award will help
support innovation for the CDC's new Center for Forecasting and
Outbreak Analytics (CFA), as well as wastewater genomics via the
National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS).
Over the last several years, significant technology investments
have been made for pandemic preparedness, emergency response,
integrated public health surveillance, supply chain management, and
inter-agency coordination to create a modern public health
infrastructure. Palantir's technology played an integral role in
the federal government's response to COVID-19, and this partnership
aims to leverage the lessons learned during that time and translate
them into a more generalized pandemic preparedness infrastructure
and healthcare system in the U.S.
"Palantir is extremely proud to continue its partnership with
the CDC, ASPR, and HHS to strengthen America's public health
infrastructure through leading-edge preparedness technology," said
Hirsh Jain, Head of Public Health,
Federal at Palantir. "This contract solidifies the important
digital advancements in public health made during the pandemic and
expands the CDC's capacity to create a sustainable and long-term
approach beyond COVID-19."
This deal is the latest example of Palantir's role in the U.S.
and global public health sector.
