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]

In March 2024, Amentum announced the completion of its merger with Jacobs Solutions Inc.'s Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber and Intelligence businesses. [9] In September of that year, it became a publicly traded company on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "AMTM", becoming a part of the S&P 500. [10]

On April 23, 2025, Lockheed Martin announced it had agreed to buy Amentum's Rapid Business Solutions Business for $360M [11] The deal was closed in June 2025. [12]

Growth through acquisitions

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