据外媒2024年7月16日报道,
德勤咨询公司赢得了一份为期五年、价值24亿美元的合同,与美国海军合作实现潜艇工业基地的现代化和扩大。
劳动力发展是德勤帮助美国海军和国防部创新能力和现代化办公室解决的问题之一,这是他们为解决潜艇制造中的区域和更广泛挑战所做的更大努力的一部分。
该合同于周一授予,初始基本期限为一年,可选期限为四年
。总务管理局负责管理海军和国防部的采购工作。
招标文件将海军的目标描述为能够
“迅速达到并维持每年1+2艘潜艇的计划生产率,主要强调弥补相关工业劳动力的缺口”
。
实现这一目标的挑战范围十分广泛。
海军、潜艇制造商及其供应商在未来十年内需要超过
10万名工人
来建造更多潜艇。
美国弗吉尼亚州政府还支持国防制造加速培训计划。该计划为工人提供四个月的免费培训,以获得与潜艇制造直接相关的技能认证。
关于合同本身:德勤将作为企业集成合作伙伴,负责向海军和国防部提供所需的劳动力、设备和材料。
此项努力的第二个主要目标是加速美国海运供应链中更为现代化的制造技术和工艺的开发和采用。

原英文报道如下:
Deloitte Consulting has won a potential five-year, $2.4 billion contract to work with the Navy and Defense Department on their efforts to modernize and expand the submarine industrial base.
Workforce development is one of several aspects Deloitte will seek to help the Navy and DOD's Innovation Capability and Modernization Office address, as part of their larger effort to address regional and broader challenges in submarine manufacturing.
Awarded on Monday, the contract has an initial one-year base period and up to four option years. The General Services Administration managed the procurement for the Navy and DOD.
Solicitation documents describe the Navy's goal as being able to "rapidly reach and sustain a programmed production rate of 1+2 submarines per year with a predominant emphasis on closing associated industrial workforce gaps."
The scope of the challenge to accomplish that is vast. The Navy, submarine makers and the latter's suppliers need more than 100,000 workers over the next decade to build more subs.
As Defense One reported in June, a series of advertising campaigns on TV and at professional sporting events backed by the BlueForge Alliance are a part of that push to get the word out.
Virginia's state government is also backing the Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing initiative, which gives workers four months of free training to get certifications in skillsets directly tied to submarine manufacturing.
Regarding the contract itself: Deloitte will act as the enterprise integration partner responsible for providing the needed labor, equipment and materials to the Navy and DOD.
A second major goal of the effort is to accelerate the development and adoption of more modern manufacturing techniques and processes across the U.S.' maritime supply chain.
Shipyard infrastructure, supplier development and strategic outsourcing represent other major focus areas for the contract.
