About this award

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security awarded a $8.9M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Human Resources Research Organization (Humrro) for the development and administration of the Foreign Service Officer Test. The contract, awarded December 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026, represents a continuation of testing services that support the State Department's Foreign Service Officer selection process. Under this contract, Humrro will administer legally and professionally validated written examinations as the initial screening mechanism for Foreign Service Officer candidates, delivered through a secure online registration system and computer-based testing centers located domestically and internationally. The contractor is responsible for scoring examinations, notifying candidates of results within 21 days, scheduling oral assessments for successful candidates, and ensuring compliance with federal information technology security standards and accessibility requirements.

This procurement was conducted on a full and open competitive basis with no set-aside designation. Humrro, a nonprofit research and consulting organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, was selected based on its extensive expertise in personnel assessment and test development for federal agencies. The organization brings significant relevant experience, having developed and administered high-stakes standardized tests including the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery and the Foreign Service Officer Test itself. The contract utilizes firm fixed-price pricing and is incrementally funded, allowing the State Department to manage budget execution while maintaining continuity in a critical human resources function that screens candidates for the nation's diplomatic service.
