In corporate legal departments, the tool supports government contracts counsel revising standard clause lists, subcontract templates, and flow-down provisions. In law firms, government contracts practices can use it to review client clause lists and identify the changes that affect each agreement. The tool works from clause numbers only, not contract documents, and compares them against a published, dated dataset of the codified regulation, class deviations, and proposed rule text.

Key features and functions include:

Clause List Input
Accepts pasted clause numbers, one per line, with or without titles and dates. An opening line can set the context, such as the type of list, the agency, and the effective date.

Clause Crosswalk
Shows each clause’s codified number, deviation number, and proposed permanent number, with a disposition for each.

Change Notes
Describes what changed in each clause and categorizes the change by note type, supporting legal review of revised obligations.

Flow-Down Status
Indicates whether each clause flows down to subcontracts, supporting review of subcontract terms.

Source Citations
Links each row to its source in the electronic Code of Federal Regulations, the Federal Register, or the deviation text, so counsel can verify each result against the primary source.

Template Update Sheet
Produces a find-and-replace sheet for updating contract templates with revised clause references.

Prime Contract Comparison
Allows a prime contract’s clause list to be added for comparison with subcontract clause lists.

Local Processing
Processes clause numbers in the browser, with nothing transmitted until the user saves. The tool reads clause numbers only, never contract documents or controlled unclassified information.
