The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Sam Houston has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Talogy for the 16 Personality Factors (16PF) assessment tool. The 16PF is a self-report personality assessment that measures 16 normal adult personality dimensions and is commonly used for employment purposes within the civilian workforce. This assessment tool consists of licensing or coupons for each assessment administered and online platform access for test administration and scoring. The contract is intended to support the U.S. Army Human Resource Command's Command Assessment Program (CAP) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, which relies on established personality assessments for critical selection and recruitment functions. The government has identified 16PF as one of the most reliable and valid personality assessments available in the market.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's sole source intent while simultaneously seeking responses from qualified vendors who may be capable of providing competitive alternatives. Interested firms must submit their responses by 10:00 AM EST on August 25, 2025, demonstrating their capabilities and commercial availability for similar assessment tools. The government is particularly encouraging small businesses across various socioeconomic categories to participate and showcase their qualifications. Responses must include comprehensive company information, contact details, business status, interest in competing, relevant experience, and commercial availability data. The contract period of performance is scheduled from September 30, 2025, through August 31, 2026, under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47,000,000. Based on the responses received, the government will determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or transition to a competitive procurement process.
