James StoutHOST
These assets include temporary housing units, security systems, generators, food service equipment, and other infrastructure necessary to operate this facility.
James StoutHOST
Because of this ownership and operational control, Amentum uniquely possesses the ability to continue services without a break in performance.
James StoutHOST
No other vendor can assume responsibility for the facility and provide the required services without substantial transition time, duplicity cost, operational disruption, and unacceptable risk to detainee welfare and mission continuity." They then go on to mention the Office of the Inspector General report on the horrific conditions there, including three deaths and the destruction of evidence in one of those cases.
James StoutHOST
They say, quote, recent oversight by the ICE Office of Detention Oversight yielded a preliminary report identifying...
Garrison DavisHOST
now.
Garrison DavisHOST
Beyond the morality of like what's going on, it seems like a wildly inefficient use of funds.
James StoutHOST
Yeah, well, what's particularly remarkable, I don't think Amentum had ever, we've reported on this before, but I'm pretty sure at the time we reported that this isn't what they do or they hadn't done this before.
James StoutHOST
This is going to be the biggest contract by orders of magnitude they've ever had.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
All that happened under the management of a little-known company with a $1.3 billion government contract.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
DHS has replaced them with another private company called Amentum Services, Inc.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
They took over the contract without any public bidding.
Andrea PitzerHOST
Just this week, Project Saltbox reported that ICE is expanding the no-bid contract at Camp East Montana in Texas to become a $2.8 billion deal that will run through 2028.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
Here's what we know about Amentum.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
While Amentum has contracted with the government many times in the past, it's mostly with the Defense Department.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
The company does not appear to have any other experience running a civilian detention camp.
Andrea PitzerHOST
That's $2.8 billion for what is being described as a temporary camp.
TessHOST
Engineers, technicians, test conductors, electricians, software specialists, And this week, one of the stories from Florida's Space Coast reminds us of that.
TessHOST
Amentum, a major contractor supporting NASA's Artemis work at Kennedy Space Center, is preparing to lay off 70 employees at the end of November as NASA brings some roles back inside the agency.
TessHOST
At the same time, Falcon 9 rockets continue flying and Starship development continues moving forward.
TessHOST
So one part of the space industry is accelerating while another part is reorganizing.
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
So states working together and understanding how they can all work together to support defence and national security as well.
Robert DoughertyHOST
And on the showroom floor, Amentum's priorities during the week, what are some of the things you'll be looking at or you have been looking at during the week? Some of the meetings you've been having, what are the sort of major goals you're looking at there?
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
So the goals for us were certainly meeting existing clients, so Department of Defence clients.
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
meeting new clients and potential clients, but really talking to our contested logistics mission partner capability.
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
Yeah.
Robert DoughertyHOST
When we think about WA, you know, the investments going into events manufacturing, it's probably only a recent thing in the last sort of five, 10 years, maybe 15 years.
Robert DoughertyHOST
What are the networks that Amentum has there in terms of, you know, what the supply chain part of it or networks that it already has in the state compared to other states?
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
So we're still developing our networks across WA, Northern Territory and Queensland in particular to support our logistics mission.
Phoebe WellsHOST
That sounds fantastic.
Katie HelblingHOST
[laughs] Well, so this first one that I'm gonna highlight, it really caught my eye, number one, because it's with Amentum, and I just love them.
Katie HelblingHOST
But it's for a graphic design position.
Katie HelblingHOST
I feel like when you're going through a lot of these roles that are, you know, six figures, especially to the 150,000 mark, you expect them to be pretty technical.
Katie HelblingHOST
I know that's one thing that we discussed last time we kinda covered this.
Katie HelblingHOST
We covered jobs that were in the six-figure category that weren't technical, and so this is for a graphic artist three, [laughs] so GA3, interesting naming convention there, Amentum.
Katie HelblingHOST
So it's actually remote, which is super exciting.
Katie HelblingHOST
TSSCI is listed for the position, and the range is targeted between 135,000 per year and 185,000 per year.
Arun SeraphinHOST
And the technologies that go into all of those enterprises, organizations, and missions are also getting more complex at an increasing accelerated rate.
Arun SeraphinHOST
For decades, Amentum has been a company that supported some of the most complex missions across the U.S. government, from space launches to defense operations around the world, helping the government sort through the complexity of those missions and incorporating the most advanced technologies to execute them.
Arun SeraphinHOST
Today we're going to talk about Amentum's history, its mission solutions business, and how the company is using technology itself to support military readiness, sustainment, contested logistics, and other military missions.
Arun SeraphinHOST
We're joined in that conversation by Dr. Carl Spinnenweber.
Arun SeraphinHOST
He's president of Amentum's Mission Solutions Group.
Arun SeraphinHOST
Thanks for joining us today.
Carl SpinnweberGUEST
Well, you're welcome, and it's an honor to be here.
Carl SpinnweberGUEST
I enjoy talking about technology, and I really enjoy talking about Amentum and giving back to the mission.
Maggie LakeHOST
Hmm.
Justin HuhnGUEST
There's other picks and shovels companies in the nuclear space that have been left for dead that are extremely solid companies like BWXT, like Amentum, like the nuclear utility stocks that have sold off 20%, 30% from their highs, and some of them even more.
Justin HuhnGUEST
So, and these larger cap established companies, some of them even pay dividends.
Justin HuhnGUEST
You know, having a mixed basket of that is, is I think a no-brainer here.
Grant McHerronHOST
[gentle music] Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the show.
Grant McHerronHOST
Today, I'm talking with Kim Katheklakis, and she's the managing director at Amentum Australia.
Grant McHerronHOST
And we're gonna be talking about the support services that they provide the Australian Defence Force.
Grant McHerronHOST
Kim, welcome to the show.
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
Thanks, Grant.
Kim KatheklakisGUEST
It's great to be here, and thanks for taking the time out for chatting with me today.
Grant McHerronHOST
Oh, it's great to have you here, and, uh, I'm really looking forward to finding out more about Amentum because, uh, well, to be blunt, haven't really heard a lot about you, but you're doing a lot with Defence.
Grant McHerronHOST
So for those like me who don't know about Amentum, can you give me a quick overview of Amentum's history, services, employees in Australia, that kind of thing, and how long have you been supporting Defence over here?
Ryan AtencioGUEST
'Cause your network is only gonna get you so far.
Ryan AtencioGUEST
It's not like you're gonna know people in every city across the country, especially some of the people they're asking for, you know? Your network can get you far, and you want to organically source talent as much as humanly possible, 'cause the more you can organically source, the less you have to staff, okay? But I know these large integrators, like the ones I showed you off this website earlier, all the large integrators are the primes, like Lockheed, Amentum, Raytheon, Booz Allen, Northrop Grumman.
Ryan AtencioGUEST
They use staffing companies, you know? That's what they do, is they use staffing companies, and they use them pretty heavily.
Ryan AtencioGUEST
So it's not like it's...
