Amentum Lands $974 Million NASA Langley Contract to Modernize Critical Research Infrastructure

Key Points

• Amentum won NASA’s Center Maintenance, Operations, and Engineering II, or CMOE II, contract at Langley Research Center.
• The contract is valued at $974 million over 10 years, subject to performance, contract terms, and other customary factors.
• Work includes maintenance, repairs, central utilities operations, engineering, construction and project management, and pressure-system recertification.
• Amentum will support key NASA research assets, including wind tunnels, laboratories, and research utilities.
• The company will also help modernize Langley’s infrastructure by automating laboratory systems and wind-tunnel testing facilities.
• The award builds on Amentum’s more than 60-year history of supporting NASA programs and facilities.

Amentum Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMTM) has secured a 10-year, $974 million NASA contract to operate, maintain, engineer, and modernize essential facilities at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The award strengthens Amentum’s role in U.S. space and aerospace infrastructure while adding a major long-term government-services opportunity.

Amentum Wins Major 10-Year NASA Langley Services Contract

Amentum was awarded NASA’s Center Maintenance, Operations, and Engineering II (CMOE II) contract at Langley Research Center. The contract has a potential value of $974 million over 10 years and covers maintenance, operations, engineering, and infrastructure-support services across the site.

The award positions Amentum as a key operational partner for one of NASA’s leading research centers, supporting the infrastructure needed for aerospace testing, scientific research, and technology-development programs.

Contract Covers Wind Tunnels, Laboratories, and Utility Systems

The CMOE II contract includes preventive maintenance, equipment repairs, central-utilities operations, engineering services, construction support, project management, and pressure-system recertification. Amentum will support the facilities that enable Langley’s researchers and engineers to conduct ongoing aerospace and space-related work.

Its responsibilities extend to important research assets, including wind tunnels, laboratories, and utility systems. Wind tunnels and specialized labs are central to evaluating aircraft, spacecraft, materials, and aerodynamics technologies before they are deployed in operational programs.

NASA Infrastructure Modernization Creates Long-Term Work Opportunities

Amentum will also help modernize NASA Langley’s infrastructure through automation of laboratory systems and wind-tunnel testing facilities. These upgrades are intended to improve reliability, efficiency, and the long-term usefulness of research assets.

The combination of recurring operations work and modernization projects gives the contract two potential revenue streams: ongoing facility support and engineering work tied to upgrades, capital projects, and evolving research requirements.

Long-Term Federal Award Supports Revenue Visibility

The $974 million headline value represents the potential value across the full 10-year contract period, not revenue that Amentum will recognize immediately. Revenue will depend on funding availability, task orders, work timing, and the company’s ability to perform within agreed cost and schedule requirements.

Still, the award provides greater visibility into Amentum’s government-services pipeline. Long-duration contracts can help stabilize demand, particularly when they support mission-critical federal facilities that require continuous maintenance and operations.

What the NASA Langley Win Means for AMTM Investors

The NASA Langley contract strengthens Amentum’s position in civilian-space infrastructure, engineering, and federal facility operations. It also builds on the company’s decades of NASA support and expands its portfolio of large, long-term government awards.

Investors should watch for updates on backlog growth, annual revenue conversion, contract margins, labor and material costs, safety performance, and follow-on awards from NASA or other federal agencies. The contract is a meaningful strategic win, but its financial value will ultimately depend on Amentum’s execution over the next decade.
