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 .
