Team Inspyr understands that contract transitions can be a time of uncertainty and are often stressful for an incumbent workforce. We are committed to making the transition process from SESDA IV to SESDA V as quick and hassle-free as possible. Our team has first-hand experience overcoming transition challenges on contracts of similar size and scope at GSFC and other NASA Centers. We hope these frequently asked questions (FAQs) will give you a better idea of who we are and the employment process we use.

Inspyr Space (Inspyr) is a Joint Venture (JV) created to focus exclusively on satisfying the requirements of the NASA SESDA V and NOAA ProTech Satellite contracts. The Inspyr JV is comprised of Analytical Mechanics Associates (AMA), a midsize business with a stellar record supporting NASA for nearly 60 years, and Lynker, a premier provider of science and IT support to NOAA, NSF, and the Department of Education.

During one-on-one discussions, you will meet individually with a member of the Team Inspyr SESDA V Transition Team.

  • This is an opportunity to discuss your current role and your role on the SESDA V contract, to have your questions or concerns addressed, and for us to further describe Team Inspyr’s organizations, management approach, and transition details.
  • This discussion will also provide us with the information (salary, seniority, job title, certifications, etc.), we would need to extend a formal job offer to you, and will help us to understand the tasks that you support.

One-on-one discussions will be held at the SESDA V Transition Team office, located at TBD, or virtually depending on your location.  As soon as you complete the online application and submit your resume, someone from Team Inspyr will contact you within 48 hours to schedule your appointment.

Team Inspyr also needs to ensure that the customer has required coverage for each Task Order on Day One of the contract.
