a change request v.s. change request

Hi,

At work we have 2 kinds of requests - change requests and support requests which are mutually exclusive (i.e. any request might be either a change or support one). I wonder if I need to use a before the phrase change request in the following phrase:

We cannot qualify this request as a support request because it is within the confines of change request

Thanks.

Yes, I think you should use “a” there.
