Executive Summary
This digest covers a single, large civilian contract awarded to Amentum Technology, Inc. by NASA Ames Research Center, valued at $239.3 million in total obligations out of a $293 million ceiling. The contract is for aerospace testing and facilities operations at Moffett Field, CA, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure, and its performance period ended in August 2022.
With zero defense-related awards and a neutral signal strength of 5/10, the investment story is muted: the contract represents stable, low-risk revenue for Amentum but is largely historical, offering limited forward-looking insight. The key risk is the absence of a recompete or follow-on contract, which could create a revenue gap for Amentum’s facilities support segment.

Investment Signals (1)
- Amentum Technology's $239M NASA Contract is Completed, Offering No Near-Term Catalyst (HIGH)▲
Amentum Technology secured a $239M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from NASA Ames Research Center for facilities operations, but the performance period ended in August 2022. The contract is fully competed and not set aside, indicating stable but non-transformative revenue that is now largely realized.
Risk Flags (2)
- Execution [MEDIUM RISK]▼
The Amentum contract's performance period ended in August 2022, and no follow-on or recompete has been identified. This creates a potential revenue gap for Amentum's facilities support operations at NASA Ames, especially if the agency shifts to a new contractor or reduces outsourcing.
- Concentration [LOW RISK]▼
This single contract represents 100% of the total obligation in this digest, highlighting a narrow data set. For Amentum, reliance on a single NASA facility contract for a portion of its revenue stream could be a concentration risk if not offset by other awards.
Opportunities (1)
- ◆
If NASA recompetes the ATOM-4 facilities support contract or awards a similar follow-on at Ames Research Center, Amentum could retain or expand its revenue stream. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure provides margin predictability, making a recompete win attractive for investors.
Sector Themes (1)
- ◆
The Amentum contract exemplifies how civilian agency facilities support contracts (NAICS 561210) provide predictable, cost-plus revenue with low profit risk but limited upside. These contracts are essential for operations but not tied to high-growth technology or defense priorities.
