Every FAR Part 52 clause on its own page: plain-English summary, the complete official text, where it's prescribed, and its version date.
All 610 clauses →No official canonical list says which clauses flow down to subcontracts. We scanned every clause's own text and quote the mandate sentence — or say none exists.
Does it flow down? →SF 1449, SF 33, SF 30, SF 1442, DD 254 and more — what each block means, who fills it in, and the mistakes that get offers tossed.
Form guides →Registration step by step, the entity-validation error decoder, and why the "SAM renewal" calls start the week you register. It's free — GSA says so.
SAM.gov section →Limitations on subcontracting (52.219-14), the commercial T&Cs (52.212-4), basic cyber safeguarding (52.204-21), Section 889 (52.204-25) — the ones that decide money.
Start with 52.219-14 →Wrap-rate calculator, certification sequencer, RFP shredder, the full-Part-52 flowdown checker, protest deadline calculator, GSA break-even math — no signup, everything runs in your browser and cites its regulation.
Use the tools →Federal contracts expiring in the next 18 months — incumbent, agency, value, end date — plus the agency obligation-pressure Money Map, built from USAspending and SAM.gov public data.
