General Federal Contracts — August 24, 2026

The $239.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with NASA Ames (performance ended August 2022) is likely complete, with $120 million outlaid. A recompete for ATOM-4 services could present a follow-on opportunity for Amentum or open the door for competitors.

Amentum's revenue concentration in a single NASA contract that is now completed or near completion. The contract's age and the fact that $120M of the $239M obligation has been outlaid reduce future revenue visibility.

NASA's facilities support budget is subject to annual appropriations and potential budget growth uncertainty, which could affect the scope or timing of follow-on contracts.

Amentum could secure a follow-on contract for ATOM-4 services at NASA Ames, leveraging its incumbent position and proven performance. The cost-plus structure reduces risk, and the essential nature of facilities support for aerospace testing provides a stable demand base.

The contract underscores the essential, recurring nature of facilities support services for NASA's aerospace testing operations, as evidenced by the $239.3 million award to Amentum. However, the contract's completion highlights the cyclicality of such awards.
