Federal Contract Compliance Analyzer
Identify FAR violations, missing clauses, and compliance risks in federal contracts
What You Can Do
You can submit contract documents and procurement parameters to Claude for comprehensive compliance analysis. The skill identifies missing mandatory clauses, regulatory violations, subcontracting flow-down gaps, and high-risk language that could trigger bid protests or performance issues. Claude cross-references your terms against FAR-aligned frameworks and surfaces findings with specific remediation guidance for your legal review and coordination.
Features
Systematically validates contract language against Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements and your contract type (firm-fixed-price, cost-plus, etc.)
Identifies missing mandatory clauses (flow-downs, representations and certifications, small business requirements) based on contract value and scope
Catches subcontracting, labor, and regulatory requirements not properly cascaded to lower-tier contractors
Highlights ambiguous language, missing evaluation criteria, and compliance gaps likely to generate bid protests or legal challenges
Checks compliance with military-specific supplements (DFARS, AFARS) and civilian agency policies
Generates audit-ready analysis showing systematic diligence in compliance review before award
Analyzes contract terms proposed during negotiations for FAR alignment and risk exposure
Verifies appropriate clause applicability based on contract value and solicitation type
Example Output
Contract Type: Fixed-price development contract, $2.8M
High-Risk Findings:
- ❌ Missing FAR 52.219-28 (Post-Award Small Business Subcontracting Plan) — Required for 8(a) contractor performing as prime
- ❌ Flow-down gap: Labor compliance (FAR 52.222-26) not included in subcontractor terms despite construction work scope
- ⚠️ Ambiguous evaluation criteria in RFP Section M — "best value" undefined; protests likely
Compliance Gaps (Medium Risk):
- Missing FAR 52.204-21 (Organizational Conflicts of Interest disclosure)
- Incentive clause structure not cross-referenced with DFARS 217.7 requirements
Remediation: Add three mandatory clauses, revise evaluation criteria language, include subcontractor compliance matrix in Section J.
