Defense contracts require suppliers
with no foreign strings attached.
FOCI requirements, ITAR restrictions, and DoD supply chain security mandates require defense contractors to know who actually owns their subcontractors and suppliers — down to the beneficial owner. Sayari provides the corporate intelligence foundation for defensible FOCI determinations and supply chain security assessments.
The exposure your current tools don’t surface.
FOCI hidden in subcontractor ownership structures
Foreign government ownership, control, or influence rarely appears at the Tier 1 subcontractor level. It’s embedded in the corporate structure two or three layers up — where standard screening doesn’t look.
ITAR-controlled technology in global supply chains
Defense prime contractors source components globally. ITAR restrictions on defense articles and technical data require understanding the actual ownership of foreign suppliers — not just their country of incorporation.
Counterfeit and diversion risk through gray market suppliers
Unauthorized aftermarket suppliers for defense components operate through complex corporate networks designed to obscure the actual source of parts. Beneficial ownership traversal surfaces the network.
Primary-source ownership intelligence for defense supply chain security.
Sayari integrates corporate registry data from 250+ jurisdictions with DCSA watchlists, OFAC designations, and government-controlled entity databases — enabling defense contractors and government agencies to make defensible FOCI and supply chain security determinations.
Trace the complete corporate ownership chain of any subcontractor or supplier — surfacing foreign government ownership, control, or influence indicators at any level of the structure.
Verify the beneficial ownership of foreign parties receiving ITAR-controlled technical data or defense articles — including connections to government-controlled entities and sanctioned states.
Resolve your entire defense subcontractor and supplier base against the Sayari world model and monitor for ownership changes, new designations, and adverse events.
