Salesforce Wins $1.6 Billion Federal AI Contract, Signaling Strong Agentforce Demand
On Friday, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Salesforce a $1.6 billion contract for its Agentic Enterprise License Agreement, centered on the company's AI agent products, including Agentforce Public Sector and Agentforce Health. The contract also includes Slack, MuleSoft, Tableau, and Data 360 through Salesforce's government cloud business, Missionforce. The VA plans to use Agentforce for virtual contact center support, patient triage, benefits verification, and scheduling, aiming to reduce appointment scheduling from 28 days to minutes. The agreement is structured as one base year with two one-year renewal options, meaning the $1.6 billion is a ceiling, not a committed spend. Salesforce shares rose over 4% on the news. The article notes that Agentforce annual recurring revenue reached $1.2 billion in the fiscal first quarter of 2027, up 205% year over year, indicating rapid scaling of the AI agent business.
