PAR Inc Testing and Assessment Materials

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) MARSOC intends to award a sole source contract to PAR Inc. for the procurement of proprietary psychological assessment materials, manuals, and protocols. The Government requires these materials to support standardized psychological screening and personnel suitability assessments. The justification for the sole source contract is that PAR Inc is the sole publisher and copyright holder of these specific assessment tools, and there are no authorized third-party resellers or distributors. * The contract is for a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) * The Government has a requirement for technical and data continuity * The specific assessment tools have been utilized for an extended period, establishing a standardized baseline for personnel vetting * Utilizing a different assessment tool would require a complete re-validation and re-baselining of the Government's existing data sets.
