Citation Safe

From the makers of Citation Safe

FAR Check: verify every FAR, DFARS, and GAO citation in your bid or protest before anyone else does.

Government contracts filings live and die on citation accuracy — a wrong FAR clause number, a superseded DFARS revision, or a misstated GAO decision can sink a protest or a proposal. FAR Check runs the same three-source verification discipline Citation Safe built for case law, pointed at acquisition.gov's FAR and DFARS text, GAO bid-protest decisions, and Federal Circuit / Court of Federal Claims case law.

What we check

  • FAR clauses and provisions (FAR 52.212-4, FAR 15.404-1) against acquisition.gov's live FAR text
  • DFARS clauses (DFARS 252.204-7012) against the current DFARS Part 252 clause index
  • GAO bid-protest decisions (B-421234, Comptroller General decisions)
  • Federal Circuit and Court of Federal Claims case law via CourtListener

What makes this different

  • Currency check: flags when a cited FAR clause revision no longer matches the version currently in effect
  • Every source is public and primary — acquisition.gov, GAO, CourtListener — never a paraphrase
  • Deterministic existence checks first; nothing is stamped VERIFIED on a guess
  • No incumbent tool checks this specific combination of sources today
