Human Resources Research Organization (Humrro)

Human Resources Research Organization (Humrro), headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, is a nonprofit research and consulting firm that develops and administers standardized personnel assessments, conducts psychometric research, and delivers human resources program evaluation for federal agencies as a full-and-open prime contractor with no SBA set-asides across its federal portfolio.

Humrro's capability footprint centers on large-scale testing infrastructure, test development and validation, psychometric research, job analysis, and skills-based hiring modernization. Representative recent prime work includes a $3.19 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) in July 2026 for MPTA 73 psychometric research studies; a $5.28 million delivery order from the Office of the Secretary of Defense in April 2026 for technical support for computer-based language test delivery; a $3.43 million labor-hour delivery order from the Office of Personnel Management in January 2026 under the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) IDIQ for skills-based hiring initiative support; and a $15.99 million definitive contract from the U.S. Secret Service in September 2025 for Proven Applicant Personality Assessment (APAT) services. Humrro maintains a substantial historical footprint: it developed and administers the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), the Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT), the Customs Broker License Exam (CBLE), and the Defense Language Proficiency Test 5 (DLPT5), among others. The organization competes on full-and-open basis, with no reliance on set-aside contracting.

Customer concentration is pronounced and split between defense and civilian agencies. The Defense Human Resources Activity (214 awards, $624.4 million combined potential value) and the Office of Personnel Management (725 awards, $525.8 million combined potential value) together account for roughly 56% of recent awards by count and 16% of combined potential value across all awards — the discrepancy reflects OPM's volume of smaller task orders. The Department of the Army (198 awards, $76.9 million), the Office of the Secretary of Defense (125 awards, $56.8 million), and the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (105 awards, $60.8 million) round out the top five. Across 61 distinct customer agencies, Humrro also works with the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Naval Supply Systems Command, and the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences.

Humrro's IDV position is dominated by a $230.6 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Human Resources Activity (awarded August 2021, expiring August 2026) for Military Personnel Testing Analysis support services—the MPTA vehicle under which most recent DHRA task orders flow. In December 2024, Humrro was awarded a multiple-award seat on the OASIS+ Unrestricted government-wide acquisition contract with no specified ceiling. Humrro also holds a $2 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences for research, evaluation, and statistics task orders (awarded February 2023, expiring February 2028), and a $16 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for PRAD program support and test question development (awarded September 2023, expiring September 2028). Across the top five parent vehicles, Humrro placed 1,119 task orders in recent years; older OPM training vehicles account for 863 historical task orders.

Activity has remained steady to declining in recent years. Awards per year dropped from 29 in FY2023 to 22 in FY2024 and 20 in FY2025, with only eight awards visible in FY2026 (a partial-year count). Twenty-eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $75.1 million, representing the recompete window. The most significant near-term expiration is the $230.6 million MPTA single-award IDC with DHRA, expiring August 2026.

On federal service contracts captured by the Service Contract Inventory above the $150,000 reporting threshold, Humrro invoiced $9.8 million across prime contracts from FY2022 to FY2024 (FY2022: $0; FY2023: $3.9 million across 9.9 FTEs; FY2024: $6 million across 12.7 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $100.30/hr at the tenth percentile to a median of $178.73/hr, with senior roles reaching $964.05/hr at the 90th percentile. GSA Schedule labor rates span nineteen categories from $93.53/hr (Junior Analyst, bachelor's, no clearance) to $290.97/hr (Senior Manager, PhD, no clearance). Humrro performs zero subcontractor hours on average across its SCI-reported prime contracts and has awarded only two federal contract sub-awards in the source window: a cybersecurity workforce assessment role under Personnel Decisions Research Institutes and an Air Force Cyber Test update role under DCS Corporation. Humrro operates as a prime contractor exclusively in its federal footprint.

By work classification, Humrro's 2,449 awards concentrate in Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities (803 awards), Professional and Management Development Training (490 awards), and Educational Support Services (259 awards). The top PSC codes are Education/Training-Lectures (1,364 awards) and Support-Professional: Other (163 awards), reflecting Humrro's role in federal training delivery and personnel assessment support. The organization brought seventy years of federal contracting experience to bear in this portfolio, with earliest awards in the source data dating to 1980.
