History

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]

On the 27th September 2024 Amentum announced the completion of its merger with Jacobs Solutions Inc Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber and Intelligence businesses. [10]

Growth through acquisitions

As part of the strategy by its owners, Amentum has pursued acquisitions of other government contractors including:
