FAR Clause Updates

[thecontractingguy]

Does anyone have a good site where I can get email notifications to updates to clauses and provisions?  One of the tedious task is trying to make sure all provisions and clauses we are using are up to date.  Wondering if there is a good way to keep up with updates.

I maintain solicitation/contract templates.  I've found the best way to keep them updated is to simply monitor the FAR website for FACs every day or two.  The are at: https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=far_looseleaf

I pull up each FAC and scan/read through it for all changes, including those to provisions and clauses.  Each FAC show what parts of the text was edited.  I also found a LISTSERV off of the acquisition.gov site where i signed up for acquisition news which includes notifications including FACs.  This is a direct link to where you can sign up for notices.  https://listserv.gsa.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A0=ACQUISITIONNEWS

I personally use the FEDREGTOC-L list serve.  It shows everything that comes out in the Federal Register, but if all you are looking for is FAR related updates, they are easy to find.
