True
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 the government. The
contract contains the Changes clause for fixed price supply and 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?
