* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document type and complexity.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) impose strict compliance obligations on government contractors, and violations can lead to suspension, debarment, or False Claims Act liability. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires contractors to implement NIST SP 800-171 security controls and report cyber incidents within 72 hours. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program rule took effect in December 2024, and DoD began phasing CMMC requirements into contracts in November 2025; depending on the level, contractors complete self-assessments or third-party or government assessments. Subcontracts must flow down the clauses the prime contract requires, including cybersecurity, audit, and export control terms. Contracts that omit required FAR clauses, Cost Accounting Standards provisions, or export control terms expose contractors to government claims and enforcement. Justee checks these contracts against FAR/DFARS and CMMC requirements and flags missing or weak provisions. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

What We Check

FAR/DFARS clause check: flags mandatory clauses that appear to be missing or incomplete

CMMC and cybersecurity review: checks NIST SP 800-171 obligations, CUI protection, and incident reporting terms

Flowdown analysis: checks whether subcontracts carry down prime contract requirements and government clauses

Cost accounting review: flags terms that may conflict with Cost Accounting Standards and allowable cost rules

Export control assessment: checks ITAR, EAR, and classified information handling provisions

Common Risks We Identify

Missing mandatory FAR clauses exposing contractors to government claims for non-compliance or contract default

Inadequate CMMC implementation provisions failing to meet DFARS 252.204-7012 cybersecurity requirements

Improper subcontract flowdown allowing subcontractors to avoid FAR/DFARS obligations required by prime contract

Weak cost accounting language violating Cost Accounting Standards and creating government audit vulnerabilities

Insufficient export control provisions risking ITAR violations with criminal penalties and debarment

Common Industry Documents

Prime Contract Agreement

Direct contract with government agency incorporating FAR/DFARS clauses

Subcontract Agreement

Lower-tier contract with flowdown of prime contract requirements

Teaming Agreement

Collaboration agreement for joint pursuit of government contracts

CMMC Assessment Report

Third-party certification of cybersecurity maturity level

DD Form 254

DoD Contract Security Classification Specification

Illustrative Example

For example, Justee reviews a subcontract agreement with a software development vendor for a classified program for a mid-tier defense contractor in Virginia providing systems integration services to DoD.

Issue Found: The subcontract failed to flowdown mandatory DFARS cybersecurity clauses, lacked specific CMMC certification requirements, did not incorporate required FAR provisions for government audit rights, and contained inadequate export control provisions for ITAR-controlled technical data

Next step: Justee flagged the missing DFARS cybersecurity flowdown, CMMC terms, audit rights, and ITAR provisions, and suggested edits the prime contractor could accept or reject: DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements with a CMMC Level 2 requirement, FAR clause flowdown including audit rights and cost accounting standards, and specific ITAR obligations and technical data transfer restrictions

Inadequate Cybersecurity Flowdown Provision

Problematic Language

"Subcontractor agrees to maintain reasonable cybersecurity measures and protect confidential information in accordance with industry best practices."

Example wording (illustrative; have a lawyer review before using)

"Subcontractor shall comply with DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, and implement security requirements specified in NIST SP 800-171. Subcontractor shall: (a) achieve and maintain CMMC Level 2 certification by independent C3PAO assessor, (b) implement all 110 security controls in NIST SP 800-171, (c) report cyber incidents affecting covered defense information to Contractor and DoD within 72 hours, (d) conduct annual security assessments and provide results to Contractor, (e) flow down these requirements to lower-tier subcontractors handling CUI, and (f) permit Contractor and government audit access to verify compliance. Failure to maintain CMMC certification is material breach permitting immediate termination."

Why it matters: The original language falls short of defense contracting requirements. DFARS 252.204-7012 is a mandatory flowdown clause requiring specific NIST SP 800-171 implementation and cyber incident reporting. "Reasonable cybersecurity" and "industry best practices" do not meet government requirements. Without CMMC requirements, the prime contractor will struggle to show adequate subcontractor oversight during DoD reviews. The revised language incorporates the required DFARS provisions and sets specific CMMC obligations.

Why Justee

Justee AI vs. General Chatbots vs. Other Legal AI

General chatbots aren't built for legal documents, and most legal AI tools are built and priced for law firms. Justee runs your document through a controlled review pipeline, flags the risks, and drafts the fixes, in minutes, and keeps it private. It gives legal information, not legal advice: for your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Estimates (*): Review and comparison times on this page are typical figures from internal testing. Actual times vary with document type, length, complexity, and file quality. Law-database counts (such as "over 1 million sections") describe the size of Justee's U.S. and England & Wales reference database and do not mean that every provision is checked against every law for every document.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAR 52.244-6 and DFARS 252.244-7000 require prime contractors to flow down applicable FAR and DFARS clauses to subcontracts. Mandatory flowdown clauses include: (1) FAR 52.203-13 Contractor Code of Business Ethics, (2) FAR 52.219-8 Utilization of Small Business Concerns, (3) FAR 52.222 series (labor standards, equal opportunity, combating trafficking), (4) DFARS 252.204-7012 Cybersecurity requirements, (5) DFARS 252.225-7012 Preference for certain domestic materials, and (6) All clauses the prime contract specifies must be included in subcontracts. Failure to incorporate required clauses exposes prime contractors to government claims and makes subcontract provisions unenforceable.

CMMC requirements depend on CUI handling: Level 1 (self-assessment, 17 practices) for Federal Contract Information only, Level 2 (third-party assessment, 110 practices per NIST SP 800-171) for CUI, or Level 3 (government assessment, additional practices) for critical programs. Subcontracts must specify: (1) Required CMMC level based on CUI flow-down, (2) Certification deadline (typically prior to contract award or within specified period), (3) C3PAO assessment and certification maintenance requirements, (4) Annual recertification obligations, (5) Cyber incident reporting within 72 hours per DFARS 252.204-7012, and (6) Flow-down to lower-tier subs. CMMC certification is non-delegable and verifiable through DoD CMMC marketplace.

Export control provisions must address ITAR (defense articles/technical data) and EAR (dual-use items): (1) Identification of ITAR-controlled technical data and defense articles, (2) Prohibition on export, re-export, or transfer without required licenses, (3) U.S. person requirements for access to ITAR technical data, (4) Foreign person disclosure restrictions and technology control plans, (5) Segregation and marking of controlled information, (6) Subcontractor screening for foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI), (7) Deemed export compliance for foreign nationals, and (8) Required registrations (ITAR registration, encryption). ITAR violations carry criminal penalties up to $1 million and 20 years imprisonment plus civil penalties that exceed $1 million per violation after inflation adjustment.

Contracts subject to Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) must include: (1) CAS applicability determination based on contract value and type, (2) Adequate accounting system requirements separating direct and indirect costs, (3) Disclosure Statement (CASB DS-1 or DS-2) filing and compliance, (4) Cost allocation methodology consistent with disclosed practices, (5) Allowable cost limitations per FAR Part 31, (6) Incurred Cost Electronically (ICE) submission requirements, (7) Government audit rights under FAR 52.215-2, and (8) Defective pricing provisions under Truth in Negotiations Act. CAS non-compliance can result in contract price adjustments exceeding millions in retroactive cost disallowances.

Justee reviews these contracts against Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and related rules. General-purpose AI chatbots often stop at surface issues like vague terms; Justee flags industry-specific compliance gaps, risk allocation, regulatory responsibilities, audit and inspection rights, and indemnification language, and cites the law behind each finding. It suggests edits as tracked changes you can accept or reject, each with a plain-English explanation of why the clause matters.

Yes, for England and Wales. Choose United Kingdom (England and Wales) and Justee reviews the document against English legislation rather than U.S. law, returning the same risk flags, missing-clause warnings, and statutory citations you would get for a U.S. document. U.S. reviews remain available, and any U.S. state can be selected. Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate legal systems and are not covered.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers (such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses) may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
