Soldiers, in Afghanistan particularly, have repeatedly requested permission to use\u00a0Palantir instead of using DCGS-A,\u00a0as the service continues to work out glitches and problems with its own program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter of intent says that half of the Army brigades have asked urgently for Palantir because of too many problems with DCGS-A in the field and at home station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Instead of embracing feedback from the war fighter, the Army bureaucracy continues to defend its own failing system while blocking or delaying access to Palantir&#8217;s proven technology,&#8221; the letter stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its GAO protest, Palantir argued that the way the Army wrote its requirements in a request for proposals to industry would shut out\u00a0Silicon Valley companies that provide commercially available products. The company contended\u00a0that the Army&#8217;s plan to award just one contract to a lead systems integrator means commercially available solutions would have to be excluded, according to an industry lobbyist familiar with the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This lawsuit is necessary because the Army&#8217;s solicitation restricts competition to &#8216;cost-plus&#8217; bids from contractors in order to build a data management platform on top of a previous failed effort to do so,&#8221; the letter of intent said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army&#8217;s solicitation, released in December 2015, sought bids to develop a data management platform for DCGS-A Inc.\u00a02. The Army said it was seeking a lead integrator to create a framework that could gather data from numerous sources with a common data layer, share data seamlessly across a suite of analytical tools and\u00a0provide easy-to-use\u00a0visualization of the framework for soldiers to use in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter claims that Palantir&#8217;s &#8220;Gotham Platform&#8221; meets those needs and already provides the services\u00a0to part of the Army and other military components for a fraction of the cost of DCGS-A. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">US <\/span>Special Operations Command, for example, recently minted a new deal to use Palantir, and the <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">US <\/span>Marine Corps is a customer as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palantir&#8217;s move to protest the acquisition process of the Army&#8217;s DCGS-A program gets at the heart of a deeper struggle within the military to figure out how to buy commercial technologies and work with a business sector nearly alien to the way the Defense Department is used to developing and procuring systems. Defense Secretary Ash Carter is aggressively courting the California tech world, but some in the defense industry and within the Pentagon are skeptical such relationships can work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And over the past several years, more and more legislation requires the Defense Department to use commercial products when reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some instances \u2014 as is the case with DCGS-A \u2014 cooperating more tightly\u00a0with Silicon Valley would require a major cultural shift away from internal development, something the Pentagon has had a hard time letting go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In a larger sense, this solicitation is a prime example of the Army&#8217;s reluctance to adopt commercial innovation and instead defend repeated attempts to reinvent technologies from scratch,&#8221; the letter of intent stated, adding:\u00a0&#8220;This approach is unlawful, irrational, arbitrary and capricious.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lawsuit in federal court could also bring answers to other open questions related to the dispute. For example, the Army likely will have to argue why it did not immediately provide Palantir to soldiers requesting it in the field on previous occasions. It will also have to explain what DCGS-A does and why a commercial product can&#8217;t replace it in full, something the service has struggled over the years to make clear. None of the issues could be addressed in the context of a GAO protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., has been fighting for some of these answers for many years, even sparring with then-Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno in a hearing over the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duncan&#8217;s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, told Defense News Monday, &#8220;The Army has been trying to build Palantir for years and Palantir \u2014 as a company \u2014\u00a0is right to respond this way . . . If it takes a court to get soldiers what they need, then that&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll take. It just needs to happen one way or another.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jjudson@defensenews.com\">jjudson@defensenews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
