The DoD is preparing to award up to four companies contracts for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) program, the successor of the now-scrapped Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) Cloud program. The DoD has stated that they will announce the winner in December 2022. The JWCC contract is valued at $9B for five years.
Google, Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services are the four companies that received solicitations for the JWCC program. However, a DoD official stated that only two companies are expected to be eligible. Those companies are Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. Google and Oracle do not have DoD Impact Level 6 (IL6) provisional authorization from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
As we know, Palantir has just received IL 6 accreditation from DISA. Although Palantir is NOT a cloud provider, Palantir's Apollo provides various solutions to cloud service providers, such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud. If the DoD selections Microsoft, Amazon, or both for the JWCC program, Palantir will likely profit from it substantially.
Understanding DoD Impact Levels
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$has received a DoD Impact Level 6 (IL 6) rating from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). IL6 is a strict security and compliance standard required to process classified data for cloud-based workloads. IL6 is reserved for the storage and processing of information classified up to the SECRET level. Palantir Federal Cloud Service IL6 is designed to serve US federal entities, including the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community, in their defense and national security missions. With this accreditation, Palantir expands its cloud offering across all classification levels and establishes a foundational technology for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), offering complex global cloud solutions to meet the next decade of national security objectives. Palantir joins Microsoft and Amazon Web Services as one of only three companies with an IL6 Provisional Authorization from DISA for their cloud offerings.
