The Air Force contracted to purchase a quantity of portable electric hand drills.
Because the drill was a commercial item, the contract contained the provisions found
in FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions --Commercial Items. When the
contractor delivered the drills, the Government issued a written acceptance and
distributed the drills to the field, without inspecting them. Air Force civil
engineering personnel soon found that the drills, in normal use, overheated and
burned out their batteries prematurely due to a defect. In using the drill, the
government did not substantially change its condition. What can the Government do
to remedy the situation? - ✔✔NOT: The Government can enforce its remedies, but
only to the extent they are contained in an express warranty
NOT:Nothing, because the Government waived any remedy when it failed to inspect
the frill for defects
The Navy competitively awards a firm fixed price contract for manufacture and
delivery of 100 specially designed radios, for use onboard Navy vessels. These
radios are not commercial items; they are built to a design specification provided by

service contracts, FAR 52.243-1. Two months into contract performance, the
requiring activity informs the contracting officer that it will need an additional 25
radios. The Contracting Officer unilaterally issues a change pursuant to the changes
clause to increase the contract quantity from 100 to 125. Is this a proper action? -
