What is FARSITE?

FARSITE is compliance software designed specifically for U.S. government contractors who need to understand and manage Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and supplemental contract clauses. The tool helps organisations assess which compliance requirements apply to their contracts, communicate those requirements across teams, and track accountability for compliance obligations. Rather than manually reviewing dense contract documents, contractors can use FARSITE to identify relevant clauses and their implications for their business operations, whether that concerns security requirements, flow-down obligations to subcontractors, or cost accounting standards.
