Bering Global Solutions is preparing to cut more than 200 jobs across the Greater Washington region by early summer, with most of the pink slips expected to land this spring. The planned reductions span offices and contract sites in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, according to formal notices filed with state workforce agencies.

WARN notices hit D.C., Maryland and Virginia

As reported by the Washington Business Journal, the Anchorage-based federal subcontractor filed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notices that put the total at more than 200 affected jobs and indicated that most layoffs are scheduled to be completed by April. The outlet’s March 27 report summarized the WARN filings and the company’s stated timetable.

Maryland records spell out dozens of local cuts

The Maryland Department of Labor’s WARN log shows that Bering Global filed three separate notices on March 13: one for Chesapeake Beach (21 employees), one for Carderock in Bethesda (6 employees) and another Bethesda site (5 employees). Each lists March 31, 2026, as the effective separation date, bringing the Maryland total to 32 local roles tied to the company’s filings. Maryland Department of Labor

Virginia filing drives the regional numbers up

National WARN trackers show a separate Arlington, Va., filing covering 108 positions with an effective date of June 30, a notice that helps explain the larger multi-state tally. That Arlington entry appears on WARNact, which compiles state WARN filings nationwide.

Regional context

The Bering Global notices land in the middle of a broader run of WARN filings from contractors and vendors in early 2026, a pattern tracked by national WARN aggregators. Those trackers show the D.C. metro area registering a noticeable cluster of mass-layoff and closure notices this quarter as firms adjust teams tied to federally funded task orders. WARNact

Legal note and worker resources

Under the federal WARN Act, employers with 100 or more workers generally must give at least 60 days’ advance notice of a mass layoff or plant closing to affected employees and state dislocated-worker units. U.S. Department of Labor State rapid-response teams and the Maryland Department of Labor are the primary local contacts for workers seeking job-search help, training referrals and information on available benefits.

Affected employees are advised to keep an eye on state labor websites and company communications for details on severance, benefits and any potential rehire options. This story will be updated if Bering Global releases additional information or if more state filings emerge.
