# Ocient Integrates OSINT Data for National Security

Ocient and Shadow Nexus announced a partnership on September 30, 2026, to integrate Shadow Nexus’s curated open-source intelligence (OSINT) and publicly available information (PAI) datasets into OcientAIQ for national security customers. The offering is designed to support analysis alongside agencies’ existing mission holdings and can be delivered by API, bulk transfer, or as-a-service, with cloud, on-premises, hybrid, tactical, and air-gapped deployment options. No government customer, solicitation, contract award, or contract value was disclosed.

- Procurement teams and contractors evaluating OSINT or PAI analytics can assess how the datasets and delivery methods could fit existing mission data and operating environments.
- The range of deployment options may be relevant to programs with cloud, tactical, or air-gapped environments; the announcement does not specify agency requirements or a procurement timetable.
- Because this is a vendor partnership announcement rather than a disclosed award or solicitation, it signals a potential capability offering, not a confirmed contracting opportunity.
- Thomas Hofmann described the partnership as expanding the high-value data available to OcientAIQ customers.
