Contracts to build, alter, furnish, or equip a Navy ship must normally follow the rules in chapter 65 of title 41. The President can excuse a contract from that requirement. This only happens if following the rule would hurt national defense.

Every contract for building, altering, furnishing, or equipping a Navy vessel is normally required to follow the rules found in chapter 65 of title 41 (a law governing certain government contracts). There's one exception: the President can decide that applying those rules to a specific contract wouldn't serve the interest of national defense. If the President makes that determination, the contract doesn't have to follow chapter 65's requirements.

Each contract for the construction, alteration, furnishing, or equipping of a naval vessel is subject to chapter 65 of title 41 unless the President determines that this requirement is not in the interest of national defense.
