A major Navy contractor is preparing to cut about 120 workers across the Kitsap Peninsula, with engineering, logistics and electronics support roles tied to submarine and undersea programs on the chopping block.
According to a state WARN filing first reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal, the notice lists two Navy addresses on the peninsula as the locations for the layoffs. The filing, published July 3, 2026, names INDUS Technology and references roughly 120 separations.
Where The Cuts Are Centered
Federal contracting records show INDUS Technology, Inc. as an incumbent contractor at Keyport, which lines up with the WARN notice’s reference to Navy sites on the peninsula. Procurement and contract entries for the company’s work at Keyport are available on SAM.gov.
About INDUS Technology
INDUS describes itself as a 100% employee-owned government services firm that supports Navy commands with engineering, IT, logistics and program services. Company press materials tout recent contract wins tied to NUWC Keyport and other defense customers and direct readers to a company press release for additional details on its work.
What The WARN Filing Means For Workers
The WARN notice triggers a familiar playbook for state and local agencies. Under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, covered employers are generally required to provide 60 days of advance notice for mass layoffs, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That notice allows state rapid-response teams to mobilize retraining, unemployment assistance and job placement help for affected employees.
The Kitsap Peninsula’s economy leans heavily on naval activity. Naval Base Kitsap and NUWC Keyport support thousands of military and civilian jobs and generate significant economic activity across the region. The public WARN filing reviewed by the Puget Sound Business Journal did not spell out company-level transition plans, and local workforce partners typically coordinate services when defense-contractor layoffs ripple across multiple sites.
