The work is to be performed at Portsmouth, Virginia. This award was not designated as a set-aside contract and represents a firm fixed-price purchase order with an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2007.

The contract reflects routine maintenance and repair support for naval vessel systems, consistent with Hampton Rubber Company's established role as a primary supplier of marine specification rubber products and hose assemblies to the Navy. The company's demonstrated capability in supplying components meeting military specifications, combined with its established relationships with Naval Sea Systems Command, positioned it as the appropriate vendor for this time-sensitive procurement supporting vessel operational readiness.
