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