Sanctions screening was built for banks. Hospitals and universities need it too.

Every organization that pays a supplier is responsible for knowing who that supplier is. For a hospital system or a university, that includes checking every vendor against U.S. sanctions and federal exclusion lists, and doing it again whenever those lists change.

The problem is that most sanctions screening tools were designed and priced for global banks. Contracts start in the tens of thousands of dollars, pricing is hidden behind a sales call, and the tools assume a dedicated compliance team to run them.

Today, SupplierGateway is publishing straightforward, tiered pricing for Sanctions Monitoring. Plans start at $1,000 per year for up to 5,000 suppliers, with every supplier rescreened every 24 hours against over 400 sources.

The risk is real, and it isn't limited to banks

U.S. sanctions are strict liability. An organization can be penalized for dealing with a sanctioned party even if it didn't know, and regulators look closely at whether a screening program existed at all.

In February 2026, OFAC announced a $1.72 million settlement with IMG Academy, a Florida school, over 89 apparent violations involving two individuals on the SDN List. OFAC noted that the school had no sanctions compliance program in place during the period in question, and used the case to stress that academic institutions need risk-based controls too.

Healthcare carries an extra layer of exposure. Hospitals and health systems that pay a vendor on the HHS-OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) or with an active exclusion in SAM.gov can face overpayment demands and civil monetary penalties on federally reimbursed items and services. Universities receiving federal funds face similar expectations around SAM.gov exclusions.

For both sectors, the question an auditor asks is simple: can you show that every supplier was checked, when, and what you found?

Why so many organizations still under-screen

Most procurement teams aren't ignoring sanctions risk. They're stuck between two bad options.

Enterprise platforms built for financial services are typically quote-only, with annual contracts often running well into five figures. That's hard to justify for a procurement office or a regional health system.

Low-cost exclusion checks are affordable but often run monthly, or promise "continuous" monitoring without saying how often a supplier is actually rechecked.

The result is a supplier file screened once at onboarding and rarely again. Sanctions lists change constantly. A supplier who was clean last quarter may not be clean today.

What SupplierGateway Sanctions Monitoring does

Sanctions Monitoring runs on the same verified supplier identity infrastructure that enterprise buyers already use to onboard and manage suppliers across 188 countries.

Rescreening every 24 hours. Every supplier in your file is checked daily, not monthly. When a list changes, you know the next day.

The lists that matter. Over 400 sources, including OFAC's SDN List and other U.S. and international sanctions lists, plus the federal exclusion sources healthcare and education buyers are expected to check, including OIG LEIE and SAM.gov.

AI-assisted match review. Aria, SupplierGateway's AI agent, helps triage potential matches so your team spends time on real hits, not name collisions.

An audit-ready record. Every screening is written to a permanent log. When an auditor asks who was checked, when and with what result, the answer is a report, not a scramble.

Nothing to install. Upload your supplier file and monitoring starts. No integration project, no compliance team required to run it.

Pricing, published

One annual price, set by the number of suppliers you monitor. No per-search fees, no seat licenses, no sales call needed to find out what it costs.

These plans are for organizations that want monitoring on its own. Buyers using SupplierGateway's supplier onboarding get Sanctions Monitoring included. See the full details on our pricing page.
