Amentum Wins $120 Million DISA Computer Processing Contract

Key Terms

Z-series chipset technical

A z-series chipset is a branded family of system controller chips used on motherboards or mobile platforms that enable higher-performance features — think of it as the control hub that directs power, connections and advanced functions like faster memory, extra ports or performance tuning. For investors, the presence of a z-series chipset signals a maker’s ability to sell premium, feature-rich devices and earn higher margins, influence accessory and component sales, and attract performance-focused customers.

mainframe chips technical

Mainframe chips are specialized high-reliability processors designed to run powerful mainframe computers that handle massive volumes of transactions, data processing and secure workloads for large organizations. Think of them as the heavy-duty engines in an industrial truck: they prioritize constant uptime, error-checking and long service life over raw consumer speed. Investors watch them because demand, pricing, upgrade cycles and vendor supply for these chips affect enterprise IT spending, service contracts and long-term revenue for hardware and software vendors.

processor capacity services technical

Processor capacity services are offerings that supply computing power — the CPUs or GPUs and related infrastructure — on demand, usually from data centers or cloud providers. Like renting horsepower for a car instead of buying the engine, these services let businesses scale computing needs up or down, reducing capital costs and affecting operating expenses, growth potential and competitive strength—factors investors monitor when valuing technology- or data-dependent companies.

Company to Deliver Dynamically Scalable Computing Power, On-Demand

CHANTILLY, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amentum (NYSE: AMTM), a leader in advanced technology and engineering solutions, has won a $120 million computer processing award from the Defense Information Systems Agency. Through the Z-series chipset Processor Capacity Services contract, Amentum will deliver dynamically scalable computing power for the agency "on-demand."

"Amentum’s proven ability to manage an entire hardware lifecycle expertly suits DISA's processing needs. Our processor capacity solution routinely exceeds 99.999% availability, ensuring systems are performing 24/7/365,” said Mark Walter, president of Amentum’s Engineering & Technology Group. "Our track record of delivery excellence in hardware lifecycle solutions over the past two decades has firmly established Amentum as a trusted prime contractor for DISA."

Under the contract, Amentum will provision and maintain all hardware, software, licensing, and operational services while DISA administers and supports the hosting environment. DISA uses Z-series mainframe chips to support computer processing for its strategic partners. Instead of owning the hardware, the agency purchases computing power capacity based on utility.

“DISA’s on-demand approach to computer processing provides maximum flexibility, value, and mission effectiveness. The service model readily adjusts to changing requirements, including increases and decreases in power usage, allowing DISA to pay only for the computing power it uses,” said Travis Mackland, senior vice president of Digital Transformation for Amentum’s Engineering & Technology business. “Amentum expertise delivers efficient, effective, and reliable solutions to support DISA’s mission.”

The Z-series chipset Processor Capacity Services, or PCS, contract includes a five-year base period with five additional one-year option periods.
