Rea Request

Overview

CaseMark's REA Request Drafter uses AI to produce structured, litigation-ready Requests for Equitable Adjustment for U.S. federal government contracts. It analyzes your contract documents, change triggers, and cost/schedule records to generate a comprehensive REA with proper FAR clause citations, chronological fact narratives, cost quantification, and certification language. The result is a professionally formatted submission ready for contracting officer review.

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 into a single cohesive document. Attorneys and contract specialists often spend days or weeks assembling and cross-referencing documents to produce a submission that meets the contracting officer's expectations.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of REA preparation by analyzing your uploaded contract documents, change triggers, and cost/schedule records to produce a structured, FAR-compliant draft. The AI identifies applicable entitlement clauses, organizes facts chronologically with exhibit references, quantifies costs under FAR Part 31 principles, and generates proper certification language—delivering in minutes what traditionally takes days of manual effort.

How it works

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

  2. 2. AI analyzes entitlement clauses, identifies compensable changes, and marshals supporting evidence

  3. 3. Review the structured REA draft with cost quantification, schedule analysis, and FAR-compliant certification

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

Questions

What types of equitable adjustment claims does this handle?

CaseMark's REA drafter handles government-directed changes, differing site conditions, defective specifications, and government-caused delays under applicable FAR clauses. It structures entitlement arguments for both fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types.

Does the output comply with FAR certification requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates FAR 52.233-1 compliant certification language and includes the proper signatory block. You should review the certification with your authorized representative before submission to the contracting officer.

How does CaseMark handle cost quantification in the REA?

CaseMark structures cost impacts following FAR Part 31 cost principles, breaking down direct costs, indirect costs, overhead, G&A, and profit. It organizes cost data from your uploaded records into a format contracting officers expect to see.

Can I use this for claims under the Contract Disputes Act?

CaseMark drafts REAs for submission to the contracting officer as a pre-claim request for contract modification. If your REA is denied and you need to convert it to a formal CDA claim, the structured output provides a strong foundation for that escalation.

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

For optimal output, upload your base contract with modifications, the government directive or notice triggering the change, cost records (timesheets, invoices, purchase orders), schedule records (baseline CPM, updates, delay logs), and relevant project correspondence.

How long does it take to generate a complete REA draft?

CaseMark typically generates a comprehensive REA draft in approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on document volume. This compares to the days or weeks traditionally required to manually draft a litigation-ready REA.
