About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command awarded contract GS02F086AA to Personnel Decisions Research Institute LLC (PDRI) on a sole-source basis for psychometric support services on July 6, 2026.
The Navy Advancement Center, under Naval Education and Training Command, requires specialized psychometric, statistical, and test development support for the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS). The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii), asserting that only PDRI possesses the requisite capabilities. Market research confirmed that no other firm possesses PDRI's proprietary Palladium SaaS platform, exclusive Item Response Theory algorithms developed specifically for Navy testing environments, validated mathematical models, institutional knowledge of the NEAS data environment, or technical access to the proprietary software architecture necessary to perform the work. Replication by other vendors would entail unacceptable cost duplication and program delays.
Key deliverables include analysis of exam performance data, development and equating of exams using IRT modeling, validation of exam content and scoring, consultation on NEAS improvements, and application of proprietary statistical models. The task order is firm-fixed-price with a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods and one six-month option period. The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk. This is a Federal Supply Schedule award under the Multiple Award Schedule Program.
