Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc. (PAR), headquartered in Lutz, Florida, is a for-profit manufacturer and publisher of specialized psychological assessment materials and services. The company serves as a leading provider of standardized psychological testing instruments, personality inventories, cognitive assessments, and interpretive reports to federal agencies across the defense, healthcare, and law enforcement sectors. PAR holds exclusive publishing and distribution rights to several widely-used assessment tools, including the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO PI-3), and related cognitive testing instruments that are essential for personnel evaluation, mental health diagnostics, and operational readiness assessments within the federal government.

Psychological Assessment Resources has received extensive prime federal contract awards from a diverse portfolio of agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense components (Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, Army), U.S. Special Operations Command, Defense Health Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Institute of Mental Health. The company's contract work spans purchase orders and delivery orders for psychological testing supplies, assessment kits, interpretive reports, cognitive testing vouchers, technical manuals, and training materials. Notable recent awards include a $842,632.50 firm fixed-price definitive contract with the VA Strategic Acquisition Center (December 2025 through December 2030) for intellectual property rights and integration of the PAI and NEO PI-3 into the VA's VistA system; a $308,321 small business set-aside purchase order from the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (August 2025) for 3,000 NEO PI-3 and 1,000 PAI iAdmin assessment licenses; and a $196,710 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (March 2025) for online cognitive and psychopathology assessments.

Most awards have not been designated as small business set-asides, though several contracts (such as the Army Human Resources Command award and the VISN 22 technical manuals contract) have included total small business set-aside designations.

Psychological Assessment Resources holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Special Operations Command, valued at $250,000 with a five-year performance period from January 9, 2024, through January 8, 2029. This IDC was awarded through a sole-source solicitation and permits multiple Defense and Homeland Security agencies to procure PAR's psychological assessment products and services via task orders. The contract covers the provision of personality tests, cognitive assessments, interpretive reports, and related supplies, with key products including the PAI-SF, NEO PI-3 administrations and reports, and associated assessment materials. Performance locations include Lutz, Florida (PAR's headquarters), Pearl City, Hawaii, and other government-designated sites. To date, significant delivery orders have been issued against this IDC, including a $32,737.50 task order for personality tests (January 2024), a $7,254.00 order (July 2024), an $8,505.00 order for personality tests (November 2024), and a $27,781.90 order to Naval Special Warfare Command (June 2025), which collectively represent approximately $76,277.40 in obligated funding against the $250,000 ceiling. Additional task orders have been leveraged by other defense agencies including the Marine Corps, Air Force, Veterans Affairs, and Defense Health Agency, demonstrating the broad utilization of PAR's IDC across federal personnel evaluation and mental health diagnostic requirements. The contract structure enables efficient procurement of standardized psychological assessment tools across multiple agencies and supports critical operational and personnel evaluation needs, particularly for Naval Special Warfare Center candidate and instructor assessments.
