VSE and the naval ship transfer and repair team will help the Navy transfer U.S. ships to foreign buyers.
The N*STAR team will also provide field engineering, design, maintenance, training and configuration management, according to Washington Technology.
The Government Accountability Office recently ruled against a protest of the award, allowing the N*STAR team to begin work.
Last week, the Defense Department formally announced an $11 billion foreign military sale of Boeing F-15s and associated equipment to Saudi Arabia.
The U.S. had agreed in December to sell the jets in December as part of a $29.4 billion agreement.
