Rea Request

Overview

CaseMark's REA Request skill drafts comprehensive Requests for Equitable Adjustment for U.S. federal government contracts, structuring entitlement arguments, cost quantification, and schedule impact analysis under applicable FAR provisions. The AI marshals your uploaded evidence into a chronological, exhibit-referenced narrative that meets the rigorous standards expected by federal contracting officers.

Drafting a Request for Equitable Adjustment is one of the most time-intensive tasks in government contract administration. It requires weaving together contract clauses, chronological facts, cost accounting under FAR Part 31, schedule analysis, and certification requirements—often across thousands of pages of project documentation. Missing a single element or failing to properly reference supporting evidence can weaken or invalidate an otherwise meritorious claim.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of REA preparation by analyzing your contract documents, change triggers, and cost/schedule records to produce a structured, FAR-compliant draft. The AI organizes entitlement arguments chronologically, quantifies costs under proper FAR Part 31 categories, and generates exhibit-referenced narratives—giving your contracts team a litigation-ready foundation to review and finalize rather than build from scratch.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your contract documents, change trigger documentation, and cost/schedule records

  2. 2. AI analyzes entitlement elements, FAR clause applicability, and cost/schedule impacts

  3. 3. Review the structured REA draft with chronological narrative and quantified damages

  4. 4. Export the finalized REA in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF) for submission to the contracting officer

Questions

What types of equitable adjustment scenarios does this skill cover?

CaseMark's REA drafter handles government-directed changes, differing site conditions, defective specifications, and government-caused delays under applicable FAR clauses. It adapts the entitlement analysis and cost structure to match your specific change trigger.

Does the output comply with FAR certification requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates FAR 52.233-1 compliant certification language and structures the cost quantification under FAR Part 31 allowability principles. The output includes the required signatory block for your authorized representative.

How does the AI handle cost quantification?

CaseMark structures direct costs, indirect costs, and markups according to FAR Part 31 cost principles based on the cost records you upload. It separates labor, materials, subcontractor costs, and overhead into clearly delineated categories with exhibit references.

Can I use this for both fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts?

Yes. CaseMark identifies the applicable Changes clause (e.g., FAR 52.243-1 for fixed-price or FAR 52.243-2 for cost-reimbursement) and tailors the entitlement argument and cost presentation accordingly.

What if my REA involves schedule delays as well as cost impacts?

CaseMark generates a dedicated schedule impact section that references your baseline CPM schedule, identifies critical path disruptions, and quantifies time extensions alongside the cost claim. Both elements are integrated into a cohesive narrative.

Is the output ready for submission to the contracting officer?

CaseMark produces a litigation-ready draft that follows the standard REA structure expected by federal contracting officers. You should review the output with your contracts team to verify factual accuracy and cost figures before formal submission.
