Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's REA Request skill automates the drafting of Requests for Equitable Adjustment for U.S. federal government contracts. It produces comprehensive, FAR-compliant submissions that marshal contemporaneous evidence, quantify cost and schedule impacts, and assert entitlement under the appropriate contract clauses. What traditionally takes days of manual drafting and cross-referencing is reduced to minutes of AI-powered analysis.

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 fact patterns, cost accounting under FAR Part 31, schedule delay analysis, and proper certification language—all while cross-referencing dozens of supporting documents. A single REA can consume days or weeks of a contracts professional's time.

CaseMark's AI analyzes your contract documents, change directives, and cost/schedule records to generate a complete, litigation-ready REA draft. It automatically identifies the correct FAR entitlement clauses, builds a chronological factual narrative with exhibit references, structures costs under FAR Part 31 categories, and includes the required FAR 52.233-1 certification—transforming a multi-day effort into a streamlined, reviewable draft.

How it works

1. Upload your contract documents, change directives, and cost/schedule records
2. AI analyzes entitlement basis, extracts key dates, and maps cost impacts to FAR Part 31 categories
3. Review and customize the generated REA narrative, cost tables, and certification language
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 handle?

CaseMark supports REAs arising from government-directed changes, differing site conditions, defective specifications, and government-caused delays. The AI identifies the appropriate FAR entitlement clause and tailors the narrative to your specific change trigger.

Does the output comply with FAR certification requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates the FAR 52.233-1 certification language required for REA submissions, including the proper signatory attestation. You simply review and confirm the authorized signatory details before submission.

How does CaseMark handle cost quantification?

CaseMark structures cost impacts according to FAR Part 31 cost principles, organizing direct costs, indirect costs, overhead, G&A, and profit into a compliant format. It cross-references your uploaded invoices, timesheets, and purchase orders as supporting exhibits.

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

Absolutely. CaseMark adapts the REA structure and entitlement citations based on your contract type, whether it's FAR 52.243-1 (Changes—Fixed-Price), FAR 52.243-4 (Changes), or other applicable clauses.

Is the generated REA ready to submit to the contracting officer?

CaseMark produces a litigation-ready draft that includes all required elements—entitlement basis, factual narrative, cost/schedule quantification, and certification. You should review the output with your contracts team and verify all figures before formal submission.

What documents do I need to upload for the best results?

For optimal output, CaseMark recommends uploading the base contract with modifications, the government directive or change trigger documentation, cost records (timesheets, invoices, purchase orders), schedule records, and relevant project correspondence.
