Through this multi-year agreement, federal agencies will leverage Sayari’s commercial data solutions to enhance investigations related to economic security
WASHINGTON, D.C. – 02.04.2026 – Sayari, the leading provider of risk intelligence and visibility into complex commercial networks, today announced an expanded contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), expanding a contractual relationship that equips the agency with the AI-powered data solutions required to secure global trade. Sayari’s technology enables its customers to shift from effort-intensive manual analysis to outcome-focused operational resilience.
Since 2022, Sayari has supported CBP’s mission to secure the nation’s borders from transnational criminal networks and foreign adversarial influence on critical supply chains. Sayari supports a wide range of enforcement use cases, from counterterrorism and forced labor identification to disrupting narcotics trafficking and other high-risk trade activity. This expanded contractual relationship reflects a broader truth in today’s era of economic statecraft: effective enforcement requires a shared, trusted data foundation that gives clear, defensible insight into complex commercial networks.
“The complexity of modern trade enforcement demands technology that can uncover hidden relationships across multi-tier supply chains at global scale,” said Farley Mesko, CEO and co-founder of Sayari. “Our tools leverage advanced risk intelligence that accelerates the data-to-decision lifecycle, transforming reactive enforcement into proactive risk mitigation that protects American industry and counters transnational threats.”
Through the expanded contractual relationship, CBP gains agency-wide access to Sayari’s comprehensive AI-powered suite of solutions, which enables both hands-on investigators and technical data scientists to access mission-critical insights tailored to their specific workflows.
Strengthening National Security and Economic Resilience
The agency has significantly accelerated drug interdiction efforts while detention actions under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act have stopped more than $3.6 billion worth of illicit goods since 2022.
Foundational Data Transparency Powers Mission-Critical Decisions
Today’s threats move through opaque commercial structures that cross jurisdictions. Enforcement agencies must respond systemically, at speed, and with precision. To keep pace, governments need intelligence that is fast, traceable, and defensible.
Every insight Sayari provides is anchored in verifiable primary source data, giving personnel full confidence in the accuracy and auditability of their findings. Investigators can see and validate the underlying documents and relationships that surface each signal, ensuring enforcement decisions are driven by full, traceable context.
Sayari’s advanced, zero-hallucination AI serves not to replace human expertise, but to magnify it by eliminating time-consuming data assembly and enabling analysts to focus on the highest-stakes judgment calls. Personnel are freed from manual data gathering and can focus on the highest-impact investigative and operational decisions. The result is a shift away from manual, reactive screening to continuous, proactive monitoring of entire risk networks, giving agencies like CBP the clarity and speed required in today’s enforcement environment.
