Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12B Filed August 26, 2024 File No. 001-42176 Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter responds to the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated September 5, 2024, concerning Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12B (the “Registration Statement”) of Amazon Holdco Inc. (the “Company”). The following is the Company’s response to the Comment Letter. As a result of the revisions to the Registration Statement, some page references have changed. The page references in the comments refer to page numbers of the Information Statement attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registration Statement filed on August 26, 2024, and page references in the responses refer to page numbers in the Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 filed on the date hereof (the “Amended Registration Statement”). Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12B Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 93 1. Prior to effectiveness, please give pro forma effect, if material, to the transition services agreement, tax matters agreement and other agreements being entered into in conjunction with the separation and merger transactions. If material terms in these agreements will not be finalized prior to effectiveness, please also tell us why not. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the Company has determined that the transition services agreement, tax matters agreement and other agreements to be entered into in connection with the separation, distribution and merger transactions are not expected to result in any material incremental recurring income or expenses to Combined Co following the consummation of the separation and distribution and the merger (relative to the income and expenses allocated to the SpinCo Business in the preparation of its historical combined financial statements). Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in the Amended Registration Statement. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 94 of the Amended Registration Statement. Note 4 - Effects of the Separation and Distribution, page 103 2. We read your response to prior comment 3 and the related changes to your filing disclosures. Please also disclose here and on page 112 that the pro forma adjustments related to the Jacobs RSU transactions are not material, if true. Otherwise, include these adjustments in your pro forma financial statements using assumptions as of the most recent practicable date. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The Company has determined that, assuming current market assumptions, the pro forma adjustments related to the treatment of the Jacobs RSUs in the transactions would not be material to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in the Amended Registration Statement, and accordingly has revised the disclosure on pages 103 and 113 of the Amended Registration Statement. * * * * * * -2- Should any member of the Staff have any questions or comments with respect to the enclosed materials, please do not hesitate to contact Patrick S.

We note your disclosure that your exclusive forum provision “does not apply to claims brought under the Exchange Act.” However, Article Nine of your Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Amazon Holdco Inc. does not exclude claims under the Exchange Act. Please revise to address the discrepancy. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Section 1 of Article Nine of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at page 8 of Exhibit 3.1 to the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page 96. 2. Please revise the pro forma balance sheet to reflect the new capital structure of the registrant (i.e., common stock and preferred stock) and disclose the number of shares authorized, issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has made revisions to both the Capitalization table on page 88 of the Amended Registration Statement and the pro forma financial statements disclosure on pages 96 through 99 of the Amended Registration Statement to align formats between the two disclosures in the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Note 7 – Earnings per Share, page 112 3. We read your response to prior comment 5 and the updated disclosure on page 103 stating no pro forma adjustments related to Jacobs RSUs were made to the pro forma financials as this amount is not material. However, disclosure on page 112 appears to suggest that effect of Jacobs RSUs cannot be reasonably estimated and depends on several factors. Please revise for consistency. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 103 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to clarify that the pro forma adjustments do not include the effect of SpinCo common stock issued in respect of the acceleration of Jacobs RSUs, since the number, and expense associated with, such shares cannot be reasonably estimated and will depend on several factors, including the record date for the distribution, the distribution date and volatility in, and the prevailing prices of, shares of SpinCo common stock and Jacobs common stock. The Company also respectfully advises that certain share numbers, as well as certain information tied to those share numbers, remain blank at this time as such information is dependent upon the distribution ratio and other factors not yet determined, which will be included in a subsequent filing. General 4. We note your disclosure regarding the amendments to the Amentum credit facilities and finance agreements, including but not limited to the new Amentum credit agreement and new SpinCo credit agreement. As appropriate, please file forms of these agreements as exhibits to the registration statement or tell us why you are not required to do so. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and refers the Staff to the Company’s response to Comment No. 6 in the Company’s Comment Response Letter, dated May 10, 2024, with respect to the SpinCo Commitment Letter. As discussed with the Staff, the Company is not party to, or subject to the terms of, the definitive documentation for indebtedness of Amentum, including the Amentum notes and the existing Amentum credit facilities, until closing of the transactions. As discussed with the Staff, and as noted in the prior comment letter response (and on pages 258 and 259 of the Amended Registration Statement), once the Company becomes party to the definitive documentation related to material indebtedness of Amentum that is in effect at or after the closing of the transactions, the Company will file that documentation as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the closing of the transactions. * * * * * * -2- Should any member of the Staff have any questions or comments with respect to the enclosed materials, please do not hesitate to contact Patrick S.

Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 14 of the Amended Registration Statement to remove pro forma adjusted EBITDA in response to the Staff’s comment, as (i) the Company does not view these as material and (ii) the Company cannot produce the most directly comparable GAAP metric at this time, as the Company does not allocate interest and similar items by contract. In addition, the Company has revised the description of pro forma revenue, and related percentages, on pages 14, 15, 27, 31, 33, 41 and 43 of, as well as elsewhere in, the Amended Registration Statement to clarify that pro forma revenue has been computed in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Please revise to reflect the new capital structure of the registrant (i.e., common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings) and disclose the number of shares authorized, issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 88 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. The Company also respectfully advises that certain share numbers, as well as certain information tied to those share numbers, remain blank at this time as such information is dependent upon the distribution ratio and other factors not yet determined, which will be included in a subsequent filing. Summary Historical Financial Data of Amentum, page 91 4. Please also provide cash flow information for the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and does not believe the cash flow information for the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is required under Rule 3-02(b) of Regulation S-X. Rule 3-02(b) of Regulation S-X requires statements of cash flows for any interim period between the latest audited balance sheet and the date of the most recent interim balance sheet being filed and for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year. Amentum and the SpinCo Business’ year-ends (and the date of their respective last audited balance sheets) were September 29, 2023, and the Registration Statement included, and the Amended Registration Statement includes, statements of cash flows for the interim period from that date to the date of their most recent interim balance sheets, March 29, 2024. The Company notes that the financial statements of the SpinCo Business and Amentum for the six month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 do not include, and the financial statements for the nine month periods ended June 28, 2024, and June 30, 2023 will not include, cash flow information for the three month periods ended on such dates.

Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 80 and 103 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to provide additional disclosure regarding the treatment of RSUs in connection with the transactions. However, the Company has not revised the pro forma balance sheet, pro forma statements of operations and pro forma earnings per share disclosure to give effect to this treatment because the Company determined that the incremental share-based compensation expense resulting from the treatment of the RSUs in the transactions is immaterial to Combined Co, which is disclosed on page 103 of the Amended Registration Statement. -2- Note 5 – Merger Transaction Accounting Adjustments Estimated Preliminary Purchase Price, page 104. 6.

Amendment No.1 to the Draft Registration Statement on Form 10 Submitted May 10, 2024 CIK No. 0002011286 Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter responds to the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated June 4, 2024, concerning Amendment No. 1 to the Draft Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “First Amended Draft Registration Statement”) of Amazon Holdco Inc. (the “Company”). The following is the Company’s response to the Comment Letter. As a result of the revisions to the First Amended Draft Registration Statement, some page references have changed. The page references in the comments refer to page numbers of the Information Statement attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the First Amended Draft Registration Statement submitted on May 10, 2024, and page references in the responses refer to page numbers in the Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 submitted on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”).

Also, revise the pro forma statements of operations to present earnings per share information. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 95, 96, 97 and 98 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment in connection with incorporating pro forma financial information in the Registration Statement. Description of the SpinCo Business, Our Market Opportunities, page 102 2. We note your response to prior comment 3. In order to provide additional context to investors, please revise this section to more clearly indicate the revenue you derive from each of the listed core capability markets. For example, where you discuss the budget requests of government entities with which you have worked in the past, please provide disclosure regarding the value of your prior or current agreements with such entity. Our concern is that, without the requested additional context, the budget request amounts could be misunderstood by some investors to suggest that such amounts are what you anticipate receiving as revenue. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 115 and 116 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. The budget and appropriation information of our government customers included in the information statement represent the maximum addressable spending for our services and provide context for the size and potential growth of our operations. While we intend to increase our penetration of these government customers over time, we cannot predict the ultimate penetration we will be able to achieve with these customers. Accordingly, we have included in the Registration Statement the percentage of revenue each end market comprises of our total revenues for fiscal year 2023.

Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 152 and 166 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. 4. You disclose here and on page 153 that adjusted net revenues are defined as GAAP revenues less non-labor direct billable expenses. You then reconcile from GAAP revenues to adjusted net revenues by deducting pass-through revenues, which is inconsistent with your earlier definition. Please advise or revise. Also, tell us and disclose (a) the average profit margin on non-labor direct billable expenses in each period presented and (b) how any profit margin on non-labor direct billable expenses is treated in arriving at adjusted net revenues, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. In doing so, also explain your rationale for this treatment. Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. After further consideration, the Company has decided to no longer present “Adjusted Net Revenues,” and has removed the measure from the Registration Statement. * * * * * * -2- Should any member of the Staff have any questions or comments with respect to the enclosed materials, please do not hesitate to contact Patrick S.
