The document details a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (Norfolk NSY) for Professional Technical Services aimed at developing a Change Management Program. This initiative seeks to train personnel in change management principles using the Prosci ADKAR model, with certifications for both trainers and practitioners. The primary purpose is to enhance organizational efficiency and transformation in response to directives from the Naval Sea Systems Command.
The RFP emphasizes the need for a partnership with a qualified contractor due to the complexity of Norfolk NSY’s operations, which involve over 10,000 employees across diverse disciplines. Key components include train-the-trainer programs (levels 1 and 2), practitioner certifications, and mastery courses, allowing for internal capacity building and sustainable change management.
Detailed performance requirements outline expectations for effective instruction and training delivery, with security measures and safety protocols strictly enforced due to the sensitive nature of operations at Norfolk NSY. The proposed partnership seeks not only cost-efficiency but also the long-term success of the shipyard through the establishment of internal change management competencies that reduce reliance on external contracts.
