Key Requirements: Cognitive Assessment: The system must be a computer-based testing platform capable of measuring cognitive performance with millisecond precision.

It must assess at least thirteen specific cognitive domains, including but not limited to perception speed, search efficiency, decision complexity, and impulse control.

Hardware and Software: The contractor shall provide all necessary equipment, including testing consoles, monitors, and peripherals, along with the required software licenses, maintenance, and updates.

Data and Analysis: The solution must include secure database storage for all assessment results and provide consultation services for score interpretation relative to Special Operations roles.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
