Amentum, through its wholly owned subsidiary Jacobs Technology Inc., has been awarded the Space Force Range Contract by the Space Force’s Space Systems Command. The 10-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity award carries a ceiling value of $4 billion.
The contract supports the Space Force’s plan to modernize launch operations and deliver engineering solutions that protect U.S. national security. Work will take place across the Eastern and Western Ranges, including Patrick Space Force Base, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Vandenberg Space Force Base and several geographically separated units. Transition activities begin June 1, 2025.
“Amentum will execute this contract to ensure the Space Force maintains assured access to space in support of national security, exploration, and commercial missions,” said Mark Walter, president of Amentum Engineering & Technology group. “Our team has the unmatched experience and expertise to enable the Space Force to meet its mission demands today and transform for the space launches of tomorrow.”
Under this contract, Amentum will provide systems engineering, cybersecurity, integration, logistics, sustainment, operations and program management support. The company will also assist Space Systems Command’s Assured Access to Space mission and efforts to update the Launch and Test Range System for a high-cadence, multi-user spaceport model.
“This award builds on decades of trusted performance supporting the nation’s space launch infrastructure,” said Steve Arnette, Amentum chief operating officer. “We’re leveraging that deep institutional knowledge, combined with our modern capabilities, to help the Space Force drive mission assurance, accelerate launch readiness, and realize the full potential of a multi-user spaceport future.”
