Defense Contractor FOCI Flags: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
8,660 DoD contractors with a $5M+ award, graded for public signs of foreign ownership, control or influence.
Headline: The proposed DFARS FOCI rule (DFARS Case 2021-D011) would make every contractor with a DoD award above $5 million disclose its beneficial owners on an SF 328, and DoD has no public list of who that reaches or who carries foreign ties.
This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 8,660 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/dfars-foci-flags/.

Method and limits
Start from DoD recipients with any award whose current total value exceeds $5M. Look up the parent UEI's own location among all federal award recipients. Flag non-US legal forms in parent names when the parent's location is unknown. Count foreign-located recipients sharing the same parent UEI. Grade strong, possible, foreign affiliates only, none found. Join to the Tensorust ontology on UEI.
Not a DCSA FOCI determination or facility clearance status. Not complete ownership: SAM.gov parent data shows only the self-reported immediate and highest-level owner, so minority foreign stakes are invisible. Foreign subsidiaries of a US contractor do not by themselves create FOCI; they are shown as context. No contact data, no compliance advice.
