What is FARSITE?
FARSITE is compliance software for U.S. government contractors managing obligations in FAR, DFARS, and supplemental contract clauses. It is designed for legal, contracts, and compliance teams that need to assess clause requirements, share them with relevant functions, and track accountability across contracts. The platform combines clause analysis, compliance guidance, workflows, reporting, and contract-specific flowdown lists to support a more organized alternative to spreadsheet- and checklist-based processes.
FARSITE Features:
Clause Analysis: FARSITE provides clause data, including applicability information, to help teams assess requirements in solicitations, contracts, and task orders.
Prescription Checks: Clause prescription checks help contractors evaluate FAR requirements and determine which obligations apply to a contract.
Central Storage: A central storage feature keeps contract compliance information together for teams managing clause obligations.
Approval Workflows: Automated workflows communicate contract requirements to leadership and support digital approvals.
Compliance Guidance: Each clause includes instructions intended to help different organizational functions understand their compliance responsibilities.
Flowdown Lists: FARSITE creates contract-specific subcontract flowdown lists tailored by subcontract value and type, with export to Word, PDF, and Excel.
Compliance Reports: Built-in and custom reporting tools provide compliance information, and the platform also includes audit capabilities.
FARSITE Benefits:
Less Manual Review: Clause data and automation can reduce the time teams spend reading regulations and manually checking contract requirements.
Clearer Ownership: Sharing obligations across functions makes it easier for people throughout the organization to understand who is responsible.
Fewer Unneeded Flowdowns: Contract-specific lists help contractors avoid including subcontract flowdown clauses that are not required.
Stronger Accountability: Approval and workflow records help teams follow through on requirements across current and future contracts.
Audit Readiness: Organized compliance information and reporting can help contractors explain their compliance efforts to auditors and regulators.
Use Cases:
Solicitation Review: Legal or contracts teams can assess FAR and DFARS obligations while reviewing a new solicitation or task order.
Contract Kickoff: Compliance leads can identify clause requirements and communicate responsibilities to the functions involved in a new contract.
Subcontract Preparation: A contractor can generate a flowdown list for a subcontract based on its value and type before sending terms to a supplier.
Leadership Approval: Contracts teams can route contract requirements to leadership for review and digital approval.
Compliance Audits: Teams can use compliance reports and stored information when preparing to demonstrate their efforts to auditors or other stakeholders.
