US Army Awards Amentum $609M Depot Workforce Contract for 500+ Workers as Civilian Ranks Shrink

The US Army awarded Amentum Services a $609 million firm-fixed-price contract for at least 500 full-time-equivalent personnel to supplement its depot workforce. The award identifies Texarkana, Texas, home of Red River Army Depot, as the place of performance and gives an estimated completion date of November 12, 2031, with nearly $122 million obligated at award. The contract follows a Government Accountability Office finding that Red River and Anniston Army Depot together lost roughly 18 percent of their permanent and term-limited government workforce from fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2025.
