What is FARSITE?

FARSITE is compliance software designed specifically for U.S. government contractors who need to navigate Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and other regulatory requirements. The tool helps contractors identify and understand which compliance clauses apply to their specific contracts, then communicate those requirements across their teams. It focuses on making contract obligations clear so organisations can track compliance and assign accountability for meeting standards. This is particularly useful for contractors working on government bids or managing ongoing government contracts, where non-compliance can result in penalties or contract termination.
