# PAE

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/pae/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

PAE (Pacific Architects and Engineers) was a U.S. federal services contractor providing mission support, training, intelligence, and infrastructure services to U.S. government agencies and allied governments. Founded in 1955, PAE was publicly traded on NASDAQ under ticker symbol "PAE" until its acquisition by Amentum on February 15, 2022, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.9 billion (including assumed debt). PAE was fully absorbed into Amentum and no longer operates as a standalone brand. The pae.com domain now redirects to Amentum properties. PAE never published a public developer program, API portal, OpenAPI specifications, SDKs, or any public-facing technical APIs — its business was federal services delivery, not software or platforms. This profile is maintained for historical completeness within the API Evangelist network registry.
