Salesforce Expands Missionforce with OpenAI and Nvidia Partnerships

Salesforce is expanding its Missionforce defense AI agent platform with new capabilities from OpenAI and Nvidia, aiming to tackle what the company describes as the US government's "toughest challenges." The expansion brings OpenAI's frontier models and Nvidia's models and accelerated computing capabilities into the Missionforce ecosystem.

"Government agencies want tailored AI that runs everywhere they operate while staying within the secure environments their missions demand." - Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce & Government Cloud

One-Year Milestone and Growth

The announcement coincides with Missionforce marking its one-year anniversary. Salesforce reports that the public sector has become its fastest-growing industry business at scale, with its defense sector business growing 80% year over year as demand accelerates.

"One year in, the momentum behind Missionforce shows how quickly government agencies are moving from AI ambition to operational deployment." - Kendall Collins

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff highlighted the partnership during his opening keynote at Dreamforce 2026, noting the company was "deeply committed to America."

Scope of Government Operations

Salesforce now supports some of the US government's "most complex and consequential missions" across more than 30 countries, working with:

• 60 federal agencies
• All 15 US Cabinet departments
• All 50 states
• All six branches of the US military

Key Capabilities

Operations

Missionforce can turn manual, paper-bound processes - such as procurement, supplier management, and invoice audits - into digital workflows in just a few minutes. Specialized AI agents automatically run tasks, track status, and flag exceptions in real time, all operating entirely within private cloud or air-gapped environments.

Field Operations & Asset Management

Government agencies can now use AI agents to automate scheduling, work orders, and asset maintenance, supported by native offline mobile capabilities for remote environments.

"Our defense business is a critically important part of that progress, with trusted data and actionable intelligence essential to readiness and mission success. With new capabilities and partnerships, we're helping agencies equip their people and put AI to work - with the security, accountability, and control their most critical missions demand." - Kendall Collins
