The United States Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Human Resources Division, is establishing a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract with the Personnel Decisions Research Institute for the implementation of the Multidimensional Adaptive Personality Scales assessment. This procurement, identified by solicitation number SHOP-PR-26-001888, is designed to support the FBI's Intelligence Analyst Phase 1 screening process. The assessment utilizes advanced psychometrics, including computer adaptive testing and multidimensional forced choice items, to reliably evaluate personality traits while mitigating socially desirable responding and increasing test security compared to traditional methods. The contract is justified as a sole-source procurement because the Personnel Decisions Research Institute is the sole proprietary owner of the MAPS framework. The period of performance for this requirement is scheduled to run from September 30, 2026, through March 29, 2032. Managed under NAICS code 541612, the project will be performed in Washington, DC, ensuring the FBI can efficiently assess specific personality trait combinations required for critical roles.
