No they didn't.

Later, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg the Federal Aviation Administration had brought on Palantir, Thales SA, and Air Space Intelligence to compete for the SMART contract. Palantir then released a statement to investors confirming the company was contracted by the FAA to “provide a data analytics tool that will help advance the agency’s modernization objectives for aviation safety.”

Considering the full article, the headline, the subheader, and the text block you quoted - that is somewhat obscured. They could've said front and center that they were awarded the contract instead of linking to their statement.

Where do you get the impression they've won the contract? They have another sole source contract with the FAA, but for SMART are still one of three in the running unless there is some source out there I'm missing.
