Institute For Personality And Ability Testing, Inc.

Institute For Personality And Ability Testing, Inc. (doing business as I P A T), a for-profit subsidiary of Performance Assessment Network, Inc. headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, supplies psychological testing equipment, assessment materials, and clearance evaluation supplies to the U.S. Marine Corps as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders. I P A T operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint; all 48 recent awards are direct government procurements carrying no set-aside designation.

I P A T's customer concentration is extreme. The U.S. Marine Corps accounts for 27 awards (63% of the total award count) and $781 thousand in combined potential value across the portfolio (99% of all dollars). The remaining four agencies—the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Army—each hold one award, combined totaling $5 thousand. Representative work includes a February 2026 purchase order from the Marine Corps for clearance and psychological testing supplies ($29,620), an August 2024 order for psychological evaluation equipment ($33,268), a September 2022 order for Protective Services Report test materials and answer sheets ($77,443), and an August 2021 order for PSR psychological testing supplies ($33,550). All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside applied.

I P A T places task orders under two Marine Corps vehicles: a Blanket Purchase Agreement (M0026416A0002) carrying 7 task orders and $87 thousand in combined potential value, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (M0026487C0045) with 1 task order. Award activity has been minimal and sporadic—one or two awards per year from 2020 through 2022, and one award each in 2024 and 2026—resulting in a combined potential value footprint of $788 thousand across nearly four decades of SAM registration. The top NAICS categories reflect the product portfolio: Human Resources Consulting Services (19 awards), Publishers (4 awards, All Other), and Software Publishers (2 awards), with PSC categories dominated by Miscellaneous Service And Trade Equipment (10 awards), Office Supplies (8 awards), and Stationery And Record Forms (6 awards).
