The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price.

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

(b) Excusable delays. The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence. Examples of occurrences include acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers.
