Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's FAR Subcontract Drafter uses AI to generate fully compliant subcontract agreements between prime contractors and subcontractors under U.S. federal government prime contracts. It automates the complex process of clause flow-down analysis, contract-type-specific drafting, and regulatory compliance across FAR, DFARS, and agency-specific requirements. The result is a comprehensive, professionally structured subcontract ready for legal review and negotiation.

Drafting FAR-compliant subcontracts is one of the most time-intensive tasks in government contracting. Contracts professionals must manually cross-reference hundreds of FAR and DFARS clauses, determine flow-down applicability, apply substitution rules, and tailor pricing and termination provisions to the specific contract type — all while ensuring nothing is missed that could trigger compliance violations or audit findings.

CaseMark automates the entire subcontract drafting process by analyzing your prime contract documents, identifying mandatory flow-down clauses, and generating a complete subcontract agreement tailored to your specific contract type and requirements. The AI handles clause substitution rules, security provisions, IP allocation, and pricing structures so your team can focus on negotiation strategy rather than document assembly.

  3. 3. Review the fully drafted subcontract with contract-type-specific provisions

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

Questions

How does CaseMark determine which FAR clauses must flow down?

CaseMark analyzes your prime contract's Section I clause list against FAR and DFARS flow-down requirements to identify mandatory, conditional, and optional clauses. It applies the correct substitution rules (e.g., replacing 'Contractor' with 'Subcontractor') and flags clauses requiring Contracting Officer consent under FAR 52.244-2.

Does this handle different contract types like FFP, Cost-Reimbursable, and T&M?

Yes. CaseMark tailors pricing structures, cost accounting requirements, payment terms, withholding provisions, and termination clauses based on the specific contract type. Each contract type triggers different FAR clause applicability and risk allocation frameworks.

Can CaseMark incorporate security and classified work requirements?

Absolutely. CaseMark addresses facility and personnel clearance levels, CUI/CDI handling requirements, NIST SP 800-171 compliance obligations, and CMMC considerations. Security provisions are drafted to flow down the prime contract's security classification requirements appropriately.

How does the tool handle IP and data rights provisions?

CaseMark drafts IP and data rights provisions that address background IP licenses, foreground IP ownership, and government data rights in compliance with FAR and DFARS data rights clauses. It ensures proper allocation between prime, subcontractor, and government interests.

Is the output ready to execute or does it need legal review?

CaseMark produces a comprehensive, regulation-aware draft that significantly accelerates the subcontract process. However, given the complexity of federal procurement law, we recommend legal counsel review the final agreement before execution, particularly for high-value or classified subcontracts.

Does CaseMark address small business and socioeconomic requirements?

Yes. CaseMark incorporates applicable small business subcontracting plan requirements, Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act provisions, and other socioeconomic flow-down obligations based on the prime contract terms and subcontract value thresholds.
