The substitution must be required for compliance with final interpretation of code <br />requirements or regulations. <br />B. The substitution must be due to the unavailability of the specified products, through <br />no fault of the Contractor. <br />C. The substitution may be requested when subsequent information discloses the <br />inability of the specified products to perform properly or to fit in the designated space. <br />D.
