  basis: 'The one callable API in this profile, the Consolidated Screening List API, is OPERATED by the International Trade
    Administration on data.trade.gov. The Bureau of Industry and Security is a contributing agency: BIS owns four of the thirteen
    consolidated source lists (DPL, EL, MEU, UVL), the API''s own `sources` enum names them under "Department of Commerce
    - Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)", and BIS lists this dataset - and only this dataset - in its own DCAT-US 3.0
    catalog at https://www.bis.gov/data.json. That is the basis on which the contract is profiled here; the callable host
    belongs to ITA.'
  bis_operated_systems: SNAP-R (https://snapr.bis.doc.gov/) and STELA are BIS-operated, but both are human-facing web applications
    with no published machine interface.
