DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR), the leading builder of operating systems for the modern enterprise, announced today that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has renewed its commitment to working with Palantir to support COVID-19 vaccine distribution for another year.
Palantir will work with HHS’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and provide its software platform to help manage the U.S. COVID-19 vaccine distribution strategy, enable international distribution, and improve the equity and efficacy of vaccine programs. The contract duration is for one year.
Palantir’s software enables organizations to improve their data-driven decision-making process by integrating disparate data sources into a single common operating picture. Palantir was commissioned in mid-2020 by the Department of Health and Human Services to build Tiberius, a software platform it uses to track vaccine production, distribution, and administration across the United States.
For this renewed contract, Palantir will continue to support Tiberius, which gives local, state and federal health officials a comprehensive platform to track vaccine distribution and administration. It will also help U.S. officials facilitate the distribution of American-donated vaccines in an effort to halt the progression of the pandemic worldwide.
“We are proud to have supported HHS in administering one of the most successful and rapid vaccine rollouts in the world,” said Akash Jain, President of Palantir USG. “As new variants emerge and pose a renewed risk to public health in the United States and around the world, we are humbled to have earned the confidence of HHS once again to help support its lifesaving work.”
Palantir has played a key role in mitigating the global COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and abroad, supporting more than 100 organizations in their response to the pandemic, including with the U.K.’s National Health Service and across the U.S. government and military.
