Both firms are services contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The merger comes as the U.S. government has become increasingly wary of industry consolidation, amid concerns mergers could hurt competition and increase sourcing risk. Lockheed Martin recently abandoned its attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/02\/13\/lockheed-martin-says-its-effort-to-acquire-aerojet-is-over\/\" target=\"_blank\">acquire Aerojet Rocketdyne<\/a> after the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit to stop it on antitrust grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But consolidation among services contractors have typically been viewed differently by the government because there are more competitors and the barriers for entry are lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November 2020, Amentum acquired competitor DynCorp International, moving it from 46th on the Top 100 list in 2020 up to 23rd in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amentum announced the PAE deal in October, and PAE\u2019s stockholders approved it at a special meeting Feb. 10. Trading on PAE\u2019s stock was suspended before the opening of business Tuesday, and it will be delisted from the Nasdaq stock exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is
