Page | 001 Statement of Work for the Coast Guard Readiness System in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
1.0 Background
The mission of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is to be ready, relevant, and responsive to successfully meet the Nation's safety, security, and stewardship needs in the maritime domain. The COYID-19 Pandemic has challenged this mission by impacting the USCG across both operation and mission support functions. Effective intervention and rapid response is critical to limiting the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on USCG operations and can only be achieved once the USCG understands the data it has at its disposal and leverages it to make data driven decisions. The USCG requires a mature, rapidly deployable capability to ask questions and receive accurate and transparent answers to questions about its ability to succeed in its mission. By deploying an effective commercial data integration and management platform to help inform its COVID-19 Pandemic response, the USCG will have better insight into how the USCG is responding to the pandemic and ensure that the decisions being made are appropriately prioritized with the highest level of situational awareness. Palantir Technologies Inc. (Contractor) will partner with the USCG to help turn USCG's data into actionable insights that mitigate the impact of the COVTD-19 Pandemic, helping the service remain ready, relevant, and responsive.
2.0 Project Scope
The goal of this project is to assist the USCG in its COVID-I 9 Pandemic response. To meet this goal, the USCG will utilize the Palantir Gotham Platform (Palantir or the platform), a commercial software platform offered by the Contractor, to serve as the data management, analytics, and operations tool for USCG data throughout the duration of the Period ofPerformance (PoP). The USCG will work with Contractor to identify data sources relevant to its COYID- 19 Pandemic response efforts. Sources that have been initially identified are listed in Section 3.3 below. Additional data sources may be added or supplemented by mutual agreement between the USCG and the Contractor.
Over the course of the project, the Contractor will provide term software licenses, training, and support services to implement Palantir as the integrated data environment for the USCG's COVTD-19 Pandemic response. The Contractor will install, maintain, and configure their software in a FedRAMP certified cloud-based platform accessible from the USCG network. The Contractor will integrate USCG data and third party data, including public and open source data, as authorized by USCG, into Palantir and configure our suite of applications to visualize, analyze, and model this data for consumption within the USCG. USCG users will be able to explore, transform, and analyze their data within Palantir using the platform's core tools as well as the platform's open Application Programming Interfaces (APis).
Contractor will work with the USCG to jointly identify use cases on which to focus. These will include, but are not limited to, PPE inventory and logistics. Contractor will leverage its commercial software to enable a common operating picture ofthe Coast Guard's PPE to effectively manage PPE inventory and make informed, data-driven, and risk-based decisions in support of COVID-19 Pandemic response effort. The rapidly growing pace of pandemic response demands a user-friendly, easily configurable enterprise PPE inventory management and analytics tool that can meet the USCG's goal of receiving and generating real-time, service-wide views and reports, benefiting users ranging from field operators currently performing manual tasks to strategic-level decision makers (e.g. Districts, Areas, Director of Operational Logistics, Deputy Commandant for Mission Support, etc.).
At the USCG's request, Contractor will support the USCG to accredit the platform using an Initial Authority to Test (IATT) and/or an Authority to Operate (ATO) in order to connect to USCG source systems.
The USCG and Contractor may also mutually agree to expansion efforts to account for additional use cases, data integrations, user groups, or application connections that fall outside the scope of this Statement of Work (SOW). Expansion projects may include additional USCG data integrations, computation-heavy machine learning or artificial intelligence processing, other high-level of effort application configurations, or integration to move data across instances of Palantir operated by other branches of the U.S Government, subject to the future agreement between the Contractor and the USCG.
