Running a compliance check
A compliance check flags the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) and DFARS (Defense FAR Supplement) clauses in our clause library that apply to a contract and flags gaps in your response. This article shows you how to run one.
Steps
-
Open any opportunity from your watchlist.
-
Click Compliance.
-
The system has already run a first pass and listed every clause that applies based on the contract type, dollar value, and set-aside.

-
For each clause, click into it to read a plain-English explanation.
-
The compliance check shows you:
- Clauses that always apply
- Clauses that may apply (with conditions)
-
Clauses you are likely missing in your response
-
Once you have a proposal draft, click Match To My Draft. The system finds where each requirement is answered (or flags it as unanswered).
What to do if it does not work
If a clause looks wrong, click Mark As Wrong and the system will note your feedback. The compliance engine improves from these reports.
If a clause is missing, click Add Clause and paste the FAR or DFARS section number. The system will pull the clause text and add it to your check.
