Boyles’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 336612 (Boat Building), with additional emphasis on engineering services under 541330. He routinely oversees acquisitions for hull structures, propulsion systems, combat integration, and naval electronics, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval architecture, shipyard operations, and maritime systems engineering.
