FAR 52.237-1 Site Visit.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This provision urges offerors to visit the site where services will be performed so they can understand local conditions that could affect their costs. It also states that failing to inspect the site cannot be used as the basis for a claim after the contract is awarded.
