NASA Contractor RIF Strategy Unveiled

NASA is planning a reduction in force (RIF) affecting contractor employees within the Human Health and Performance Contract community, as part of broader budget realignment with the FY26 Presidential Budget Request of $18.8 billion. The layoffs are expected to begin around September 1, with some positions phased out by September 30, and are driven by project reprioritization and budget adjustments, not yet approved by Congress.
