(4) 								                This clause shall not be construed as obligating the Government to increase the contract price.

(ii) 										                    The notice shall specify a period of time following receipt of the notice by the Contractor in which the Contractor must remedy the failure or refusal specified in the notice.                                                                                                           (6) 								                If the Contractor does not comply with the Contracting Officer’s written notice in paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may by contract or other-wise-                                                                           (i) 										                    Obtain detailed recommendations for corrective action and either-                                                                                             (A) 												                        Correct the supplies or services; or                                                                                                (B) 												                        Replace the supplies or services, and if the Contractor fails to furnish timely disposition instructions, the Contracting Officer may dispose of the nonconforming supplies for the Contractor’s account in a reasonable manner, in which case the Government is entitled to reimbursement from the Contractor, or from the proceeds, for the reasonable expenses of care and disposition, as well as for excess costs incurred or to be incurred;                                                                                                                                         (ii) 										                    Obtain applicable data and reports; and                                                                              (iii) 										                    Charge the Contractor for the costs incurred by the Government.                                                                                                                   (End of clause)          *Alternate I*                (Apr 1984). If it is desirable to specify that necessary transportation incident to correction or replacement will be at the Government’s expense (as might be the case if, for example, the cost of a warranty would otherwise be prohibitive), substitute a paragraph substantially the same as the following paragraph (b)(9) for paragraph (b)(9) of the basic clause:                                       *Alternate II*                (Apr 1984). If a fixed-price incentive contract is contemplated, add a paragraph substantially the same as the following paragraph (c)(7) to the basic clause:             (7) All costs incurred or estimated to be incurred by the Contractor in complying with this clause shall be considered when negotiating the total final price under the Incentive Price Revision clause of this contract. After establishment of the total final price, Contractor compliance with this clause shall be at no increase in the total final price. Any equitable adjustments made under paragraph (b)(6) of this clause shall be governed by the paragraph entitled "Equitable Adjustments Under Other Clauses" in the Incentive Price Revision clause of this contract.                                       *Alternate III*                (Apr 1984). If it is anticipated that recovery of the warranted item will involve considerable Government expense for disassembly and/or reassembly of larger items, add a paragraph substantially the same as the following paragraph (c)(7) to the basic clause. Redesignate the additional paragraph as "(c)(8)" if Alternate II is also being used:             (7) The Contractor shall be liable for the reasonable costs of disassembly and/or reassembly of larger items when it is necessary to remove the supplies to be inspected and/or returned for correction or replacement.    **Parent topic:**  52.246 [Reserved]
