Why does Step 1: Identify the Claim or Dispute matter?

The first step in the CDA process is recognizing that a disagreement between the contractor and the government has risen to the level of a "claim" under the Contract Disputes Act. A claim is a written demand seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money, adjustment of contract terms, or other relief. Not every disagreement is a claim — routine requests for equitable adjustment (REAs) become claims only when submitted as such or when the contracting officer denies them.
