The work, services, and procurements under this contract shall be executed via the ELINs listed in Attachment J B-1 or via Task Orders (TOs) that will be negotiated on an as needed basis.

B. Geographic Scope

The contract is to serve Navy installations or Navy sites primarily within the greater Puget Sound Area. The main Northwest facilities are:

· Naval Base Kitsap, Bremerton, WA

· Naval Base Kitsap, Keyport, WA

· Naval Base Kitsap, Bangor, WA

· Naval Station Everett, WA
