I'm trying to find an efficient way of generating a Par score from a hand record or hand data file that already has makeable contract information. Does anyone know of any software that can do this?

The program "Jack" does this. Probably other bridge playing software does as well. Obviously this is a bit of overkill if all you want to do is work out the par score.

Something called PSBridge does it but it also computes all the makeable contracts. Short answer, I don't know of anything that just computes par based on known makeable contracts. It would be easy to write though.

Do you know if Jack can play a hand many times, using different bidding systems and think-time settings, to generate an "average" which could be scored against?

it can, but then u will have to calculate the average on ur own by taking the
scores and averaging them.
