Inspirit Equity has carved out Valiant O&M, the operations and maintenance division of Valiant Integrated Defense Services, to establish Vulcan Government Services as an independent provider of facility operations, maintenance and logistics services to U.S. government agencies. The platform serves hospitals, medical facilities, research laboratories and other critical infrastructure under long-term contracts in the United States and overseas.

Chief Executive Officer Chuck Phillips, who joined Valiant in 2023 and has overseen the O&M business, will continue to lead the standalone company. "This is the type of complex transaction where we believe Inspirit's approach and capabilities can create significant value," said Ryan Kanaley, Managing Director at Inspirit Equity.

The McLean Group advised Valiant O&M; Sidley Austin LLP served as legal counsel to Valiant; and Jones Day served as legal counsel to Inspirit Equity.
