Beavercreek defense firm to lay off workers

A Beavercreek defense contractor will lay off 12 employees after the company failed to win a Wright-Patterson Air Force Base contract.

“BTAS was not awarded the contract through recompete,” Ezra Ross-Saunders, human resources director for BTAS, wrote the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. “Subsequently, the last day of employment for our employees on this task order is July 17 2019.”

The letter said successor contractors may contact affected employees to give them “right of first refusal” on other job openings.

Generally, a successor contractor may not hire new employees under a contract until a right of first refusal has been provided by displaced workers, Ross-Saunders wrote.

The firm has focused on providing business and technical solutions in IT, communications, security, program management and engineering.
