Community

Energizing the Next Generation

We believe the future of the science and space exploration community depends on today’s students being energized and inspired. We practice mentoring on our staff and encourage cross-generational teamwork at every opportunity. We have senior engineers and scientists mentoring younger college graduates. We welcome college students for summer internships. We give high school students the chance to engage with our engineers for focused internships. And we invest in STEM events that broaden the understanding of younger-age students.

GSA

We’re proud to be an authorized General Services Administration (GSA) provider of Professional  Services. We have a competitively-awarded Federal Supply Services Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract. The purpose of the contract is to provide authorized schedule users access to carefully qualified contractors who can assist them with their engineering-related needs.

How GSA Works

Under the MAS schedule, Genesis Engineering may provide federal agencies and their contractors:

Engineering Research & Development and Strategic Planning
[SIN 541715]

Engineering Services [SIN 541330ENG]

Test and evaluation / Testing Laboratories
[SIN 541380]

Engineering System Design and Integration Services
[SIN 541420]

MAS is a competitively awarded schedule contract with fixed labor rates. Fixed hourly rates have been determined to be fair and reasonable by the US Government. Task Orders referencing the GSA schedule number can flow directly from the contracting agency to Genesis Engineering. There is no “middle man,” no need to advertise, and no need to deal with anyone outside your own agency. Each Government agency has contract procedures to follow when using this streamlined and simplified procurement process. Please refer to FAR 8.4 for complete details.

Conduct

Guided by Principle

The work we do matters. But the way we work is just as important. Because of this, our Principles of Conduct are an essential part of what sets us apart and what has earned the trust of our customers. They guide everything we do as a company, and they start with the belief that the people who make up our team will always be our most valuable asset:

  • We will foster personal development on our team.
  • We will lead by example and instill the values of sincerity and hard work.
  • We will honor the admirable characteristics in each other.
  • We will conduct business centered on personal empowerment, excellence and integrity.
  • We will celebrate and sharpen personal strengths.
  • We will transform personnel and never stop growing.

At Genesis we esteem courage over cowardice, confidence over arrogance, clear purpose over presumption and perseverance over slothfulness. We believe that deep within all successful endeavors is the commitment to diligence, a refusal to quit, and faithfulness to every commitment.

To be anything else would not be Genesis.

History

HISTORY

Over 30 Years of Dependability

Our name “Genesis” speaks of origins and beginning. We approach every engineering challenge as opportunity for a powerful new beginning—a new solution, a new level of effectiveness, a new breakthrough in technology.  

We opened our doors in Lanham, Maryland, outside the gates of the Goddard Space Flight Center in 1993. From our inception, founder Robert Rashford wanted to build a company that would create high-tech solutions by unleashing the talents and passions of a highly trained team of engineers. Rashford himself has over 35 years of engineering experience. But more importantly he’s instilled in our team a commitment to work hard, do what is right, and always put the needs of our clients first. 

Decades later we’re still guided by the values of accountability and dependability. They aren’t just slogans for us. They’re principles we have staked our reputation on.  

Whether we’re prime or support as a subcontractor, we bring the same commitment to delivering the best product, at the best price, on the best schedule possible.
