1. NBACC Facility:

The NBACC facility has approximately 160,000 gross square feet to include Laboratory space of 20% BSL 4, and 80% BSL 2 and 3. Total estimated staff approximately 168. This includes both technical and administrative staff.

2. Sources - Animal Numbers Estimated and Casework:

· Approximately 15 research efforts per year will be supported by the NBACC BioThreat Characterization Program. Of these studies: Approximately 25% will be conducted within the BSL-2 areas; Approximately 50% will be conducted in the BSL-3 areas and approximately 25% will require BSL-4.

· Approximately 50% of the NBACC BioThreat Characterization Program studies will require the use of animals (rodents, rabbits, guinea pigs and non-human primates). Non-human primate studies will be conducted only after earlier studies with lower animals have demonstrated the need for the primate study.

· For purposes of capacity, the largest species (primates) was measured as the maximum population housed in the appropriate space type. Approximately three primate studies will be necessary per year.

· Bioforensics casework requires 24/7 support.

3. Travel Estimate:

Travel in support of the NBACC is projected, as follows for local CONUS and OCONUS travel. Examples include but are not limited to: travel to national and international meetings, travel to present results, workshops, training, and to support other government agencies.

5. Labor, Overhead/Fringe, ODCs, Fees

The current NBACC contract (HSHQDC-07-C-00020) has incurred actual expenditures from contract inception 20 Dec 2006 through 26 Dec 2013 (77 months) of approximately $244M. This translates into a yearly expense of approximately $38M. However, due to funding reductions over the past few years, the average annual funding has dropped to $32.1M. This reflects funding from three primary sources.

· 45% from Chem/Bio Defense Division (CBD) for the NBACC Biothreat Characterization Program and Bioforensics Operations (NBFAC) program,

· 44% from Office of National Labs (ONL) for Management and Operations (M&O) of the NBACC facility,

· 11% from another federal agency.

Based on historical data from the current NBACC FFRDC contract (HSHQDC-07-C-00020), the annual budget is expensed across the following categories. This allocation does not include Work for Others effort.

1 = ODCs = Subcontractor, Consultants, Travel, Supplies, Materials, Insurance Liability/Indemnity, Lease/Rent, Other

The above data is subject to change at any time given funding constraints, changing missions and changing priorities.

ONL also provides operations support of the NBACC that is not in NBACC contract. This operations support includes: Utilities to the garrison, Security (commercial contract and NIBC campus contribution), Special Immunization Program, IT/ Communications and Miscellaneous ONL administrative costs of approximately $20M per year.
