The contract will be executed under FAR Part 13 procedures, with statutory authority provided by 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for procurement from the only responsible source capable of meeting agency requirements.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under NAICS code 336611 for Ship Building and Repairing, with a business size standard of 1,300 employees.
