The judge, however, did express a level of skepticism over the honesty of the now-retired Army G-2 intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Mary Legere\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Given the failures to properly conduct an analysis \u2026 and reach a considered, commercial availability determination, as well as the unfortunate conduct of some of the Army personnel reflected in the Administrative Record, it would be wise for the Army to seriously consider reviewing the commercially available products of Palantir, or any other potential offeror, before concluding that no commercially available product can meet the Army\u2019s requirement,&#8221; Blank Horn writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge ordered the Army not to proceed with its near-term plan to award a contract to a lead developer, essentially blocking the program&#8217;s planned path forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Court of Federal Claims&#8217; 104-page opinion in the Palantir lawsuit against the US Army sends the service back to do a more
