    The document outlines the justification for a sole-source contract with Palantir Technologies, Inc. for the continued sustainment of 914 CD-1 software licenses under the U.S. Army's program, citing authorities under FAR 16.505(b)(2) for reasons of economy and efficiency. The government determined that no other vendor could effectively meet the CD-1 requirements, which are integral for Army intelligence operations, necessitating ongoing support from Palantir to prevent disruption in service. The planned award date for this contract action is March 21, 2023, with a performance period of one year.
