Insight
PALANTIR USG INC shows pronounced obligation concentration in the most recent period, with FY 2025 accounting for $1.02 billion across 153 awards, or more than half of the 10-year total of $1.88 billion. Obligations declined from that peak in FY 2024 to FY 2021, but remained materially higher than earlier years, indicating a recent surge in procurement activity followed by a broader annual spread in awards. The remaining years in the window are low-volume outliers, with minimal obligations in FY 2018 and FY 2017, which reinforces the concentration in FY 2021–FY 2025.
