About the company
Instar Engineering And Consulting, Inc. delivers instructor-led aerospace and space-structures training to NASA as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on small purchase orders with no set-asides used across its federal footprint.
Instar is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, competing entirely in the full-and-open market without SBA certifications or set-aside designations. The vendor's federal work classifies under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and PSC Education/Training codes, with 19 of its 29 recent awards falling under professional development training.
NASA's Shared Services Center accounts for the overwhelming bulk of Instar's federal revenue—17 awards worth $425 thousand out of 29 total awards and $646 thousand combined potential value across the entire portfolio (69% of awards by count, 75% by dollar). The remaining four awards dispersed across NASA's Johnson Space Center ($25 thousand), Kennedy Space Center ($20 thousand), and Glenn Research Center ($16 thousand) represent marginal volume. All 29 awards are prime contracts; Instar has no subcontractor footprint.
Instar's contract profile consists entirely of firm-fixed-price purchase orders, each in the $11 thousand to $35.9 thousand range, with no parent vehicles or IDIQs. Recent representative work includes a $34 thousand August 2026 live instructor-led training course on spacecraft structures from concept to launch, performed in Huntsville, Alabama; a $35.9 thousand September 2023 training contract on space mission structures delivered at Langley Research Center; and a $35.9 thousand April 2023 three-day course on design and analysis of bolted joints at Marshall Space Flight Center. All awards originated from NASA Shared Services Center solicitations with short turnarounds (proposal windows of days to weeks) and were awarded without competitive set-asides.
Activity has been sparse and episodic. The vendor received two awards in 2016 and 2017, one in 2022, four in 2023, and one in 2026, with no awards visible between 2017 and 2022 and again between 2023 and 2026. All obligated dollars ($646 thousand) match potential value, indicating the vendor has invoiced the full amount of awards issued. The most recent award dates to August 2026, with all active contracts completed by early 2024 or in flight. Instar operates in a narrow, low-dollar customer and capability niche with minimal infrastructure for competing on larger vehicles or multi-year programs.
