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.[7]
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.[8]
