Cda Certified Claim

Overview

CaseMark's CDA Certified Claim skill automates the drafting of Contract Disputes Act claims for federal government contracts. It generates a complete, FAR Part 33-compliant claim package including entitlement analysis, quantum calculations, certification language, and a final-decision demand—all structured to preserve your client's appeal rights before the ASBCA or CBCA.

Drafting a CDA certified claim is one of the most detail-intensive tasks in government contracts practice. Attorneys must meticulously structure entitlement theories, compile quantum calculations with exact figures, ensure proper certification language, and organize extensive factual chronologies with exhibit references—all while meeting strict statutory and regulatory requirements. A single omission can jeopardize appeal rights or result in claim denial.

CaseMark automates the entire CDA claim drafting process by analyzing your contract documents, cost records, and chronology to produce a fully structured claim package. The AI ensures compliance with 41 U.S.C. §§ 7101–7109 and FAR Part 33, maps your facts to entitlement theories with proper legal authority, and generates definite-sum quantum sections—letting attorneys focus on strategy rather than document assembly.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your contract, modifications, cost records, and supporting chronology documents

  2. 2. AI analyzes entitlement theories, quantum data, and FAR Part 33 requirements

  3. 3. Review and customize the generated CDA claim package with all required sections

  4. 4. Export the finalized certified claim in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does this tool ensure FAR Part 33 and CDA compliance?

Yes. CaseMark structures every claim to meet the requirements of 41 U.S.C. §§ 7101–7109 and FAR Part 33, including proper certification language, definite-sum demands, and final-decision requests that preserve your appeal rights before the ASBCA or CBCA.

Can it handle claims both above and below the $100,000 certification threshold?

Absolutely. CaseMark automatically includes the required certification block for claims exceeding $100,000 and adjusts the claim structure appropriately for smaller claims that do not require certification.

What types of claim theories does the tool support?

CaseMark supports all major CDA claim theories including constructive changes, differing site conditions, government-caused delay, superior knowledge, breach of contract, and cardinal changes. The entitlement section maps each theory's legal elements to your specific facts.

Does the output include quantum and damages calculations?

Yes. CaseMark generates a structured quantum section that organizes your cost data into definite-sum calculations with supporting exhibit references. You should review all figures against your source records before submission.

Can I use this for both monetary claims and time extension requests?

Yes. CaseMark drafts claims requesting monetary relief, time extensions, or both. The tool ensures each form of relief is stated as a definite amount as required by CDA case law.

How does CaseMark handle exhibit references and supporting documentation?

CaseMark creates a chronological factual narrative table with automated exhibit citations, linking each key event to the specific supporting documents you uploaded. This ensures your claim package is well-organized and traceable for the contracting officer's review.
