Amentum Services, Inc. (formally Amentum Government Services Holding LLC) is an American government and commercial services contractor based in Chantilly, Virginia.[4][5] The company was formed in 2020 from the spinout of AECOM's Management Services / federal group.[6] After Leidos, it is the second-largest government services (non equipment producing) contractor in the US government contracting market.[7]
History[edit]
Amentum was founded in 2020 as a spinout of the Management Services Group of AECOM, consisting of the non-construction parts of the company's federal work as well as its commercial operations and maintenance business. This came as a result of a process by AECOM to realign its business to focus more clearly on the architect, engineering, and construction market.[8]
Amentum traces its AECOM roots back to several well-known government contracting firms that now form the basis of its current work. These firms came to be a part of the company by way of AECOM's acquisition of URS Corporation and include EG&G, Washington Group International, Westinghouse Government Services, and Lear Siegler.[9]
Growth through acquisitions[edit]
As part of the strategy by its owners, Amentum has pursued acquisitions of other government contractors including:
Notable Projects[edit]
- Training of all US Army helicopter pilots at Fort Rucker for the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence[13]
- Various operations roles for nuclear remediation at the Savannah River Site and the Hanford Site[14]
- Operation of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant - the US nuclear waste repository
- Elimination of chemical and biological weapons under the Nunn–Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program as well as the creation of labs to study diseases[15]
- Operates the Nevada Test and Training Range[16]
- Operations of the Kennedy Space Center
