Amentum lands $946M Army contract

Chantilly-based federal contractor Amentum Services won a $946 million contract for maintenance of a U.S. Army aircraft fleet, the company announced Monday.

Under the hybrid firm-fixed price contract, Amentum will complete system maintenance and modernization for the Army’s fixed-wing transport aircraft fleet, providing life-cycle services like sustainment and logistics for a combined fleet of 150 aircraft, which includes C-12, C-26, T-6 and UC-35 aircraft.

“Leveraging Amentum’s expertise performing these services, this win demonstrates the U.S. Army’s confidence in Amentum’s ability to manage a large-scale complex program while maintaining a quality and long-term solutions approach,” Karl Spinnenweber, president of Amentum’s Critical Missions Group, said in a statement.

Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems’ location in Greenville, South Carolina, will be the primary depot maintenance facility. Work will be performed in various domestic and international locations.

The contract has one base year and five one-year options.

Amentum has more than 35,000 employees in 79 countries. The company was founded as a spinout of AECOM’s Management Services Group in 2020 and moved its headquarters from Germantown, Maryland, to Chantilly in 2023.
