Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Requests for Equitable Adjustments (REA) and Claims
Changes in U.S. Government contracts occur frequently. Savvy contractors recognize these changes may enable them to pursue a request for equitable adjustment (REA) or claim. Whether it’s due to a change in project scope or a government-imposed delay, RKI helps contractors prepare proposals in a compliant manner, incorporating all allowable increased costs for negotiation and potential settlement with the U.S. Government.
What is a REA?
A Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) is a formal proposal submitted by a contractor to the government to seek compensation or other adjustments to a federal contract. REAs often arise from unexpected changes, additional work requirements, delays, or increased costs not anticipated when the contract was awarded. Submitting an REA enables contractors to negotiate fair terms and compensation, helping maintain productive, long-term relationships.
When is a Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) Necessary?
A REA becomes necessary when unforeseen events, changes, or government-directed modifications affect a contract’s scope, schedule, or cost. Contractors submit an REA to formally seek compensation or adjustments, mitigating undue burdens on operations or profitability. Common triggers include contract changes, delays, differing site conditions, and cost increases due to circumstances beyond the contractor’s control.
