Sayari's engagement grew from $80K pilots to $1.5M enterprise deployment, coinciding with October 2022 semiconductor export controls expansion. BIS shifted from individual analyst usage to bulk data integration for automated entity screening.
Palantir represents BIS's central data analytics platform with a $9.5M ceiling value. Per CSIS analysis, BIS operates with outdated infrastructure where databases "crash routinely." Palantir Foundry provides entity resolution, knowledge graphs, and sanctions screening automation.
CAR provides physical evidence intelligence - documenting weapons in conflict zones and tracing serial numbers. Their investigation found 82% of Iranian Shahed drone components came from U.S. companies, directly informing BIS export control policy on Iran.
WireScreen specializes in Chinese corporate data with 14M+ Chinese company profiles. Founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Barboza (former NYT Shanghai bureau chief). Supports BIS 50% Affiliates Rule enforcement which affects 20,000+ Chinese entities.
D&B is the foundational data layer for BIS operations - providing the corporate registry data that underpins all entity screening. This is raw data (not a visualization platform). BIS needs to buy the data to perform entity resolution and ownership analysis.
IHS Global provides trade flow intelligence - the actual shipping and customs data that reveals where controlled goods are moving. Spending jumped 3.6x in FY2022 (from ~$43K to $155K), coinciding with increased export control enforcement after Russia sanctions. Complements Sayari's corporate ownership data with geographic/commodity-specific tracking.
Bloomberg spend is split between terminal licenses (~$110K for per-seat platform access) and supply chain data (~$307K for raw data). The terminal licenses are visualization layers; the data feed is the underlying intelligence.
CLEAR is a per-seat investigative platform - analysts pay for search interface access to aggregated public records, court filings, and other investigative data sources used for entity screening and background investigations.
Kharon provides curated sanctions/export control intelligence - identifying risky entities before they appear on official lists. Small contract suggests pilot/evaluation stage, similar to early WireScreen engagement.
