How do you determine which party assumes the risk of impossibility in the case of defective performance specification (performance determined to be impracticabile or impossibile)?
The way I understand it, under a defective performance specification, a contractor can only recover if the government assumes risk for impossibility of performance.

Your question cannot be answered in a few words. Go find a copy of Administration of Government Contracts, 4th, by Cibinic, Nash, and Nagle and read the coverage of impracticability of performance and defective specifications.
