What happened
In July 2026 the VA awarded Salesforce an agentic enterprise license agreement worth up to $1.6 billion over one base year and two option years, so the full amount is a ceiling, not guaranteed spending. Nextgov reported that Agentforce already supports VA's 24/7 virtual contact center for triage, intake and care coordination. The deal expands AI agents into live-call support, case routing and benefits verification. No usage volumes were published.
