All components must comply with American Boat and Yacht Council, United States Coast Guard, and International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea standards, with engine emissions meeting current EPA guidelines. The contractor assumes full responsibility for safe, insured round-trip transportation of the vessel from Joint Base Charleston–Naval Weapons Station, SC to its commercial facility and return. Performance period is 90 calendar days from contract award.
Government acceptance requires successful sea trial conducted by NPTU Operations Department personnel with no major or minor installation-related deficiencies and a defect-free final delivery inspection.
