The protest. concern thF4oeaity of the Hmae Port Folievat applied to contracts for the repair of aval veassels. In our letter of toda to counsel for Harbor Boat Buldtng Ccpay, co enclosed, we have upheld the plcy as a legitimate requirenent of the Navy. Noweverj we arc concerned that the atouatia application of the polcy to al Procurements for ship overhaul , as appears to be re quired by section 7-3.4 of the Ship Repair Contract lmnual (s'ubjt*t to the lt 4ted exceptions specified thereiw), would place an undue restriction on competition in those instroes where its application wuld not further the intent of the Hcue Port Policy. Fr example, there al or moat of the crew of a particular vessel ere tmarried the hne port restriction voule not serve to foster the utate4 Kome Port Policy. We are not in a position to kncv whether it would be administratively feasible for procurmrib officials to determine, prior to the issuance of solicitations, it Ease Port Policy considera- tions are aplicable to specific vessels. If such a determination feasibly can be made, we bolieve the geographic restrictions of the ome Port Policy should not be ixpoasi.
