The stock hit its 52-week high of $105.15 earlier in Wednesday's session, and is up 91% in the past 12 months.
The Alexandria, Va., company, which provides aftermarket distribution and repair services, has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 259,000 shares.
The offering is expected to close Thursday.
VSE expects to see proceeds of $142.5 million from the offering.
The company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to finance a portion of the cash consideration for its previously announced acquisition of Kellstrom Aerospace Group.
