Delivery instructions of hand-delivered proposals (Attachment 1 - Packaging and Delivery of the Proposal) is revised as follows:

NOTE: Fort Detrick is a secure military base. Due to construction, couriers delivering proposals must use the Old Farm Gate entrance (Rosemont Avenue) in order to gain access to Fort Detrick. Non-decaled vehicles will be searched by security guards; in addition, valid IDs will be required for the driver and all passengers. The due date for receipt of proposals remains unchanged.

It is recommended that you inform Tim Crilley (301-228-4224) or Kelly Fowler (301-228-4239) of your approximate arrival. When you arrive at building 244, please contact one of the above individuals to gain access to the building.

It is the offeror's responsibility to allow sufficient time for security clearance at the Old Farm Gate entrance and then delivery of the proposal to the designated location by the date and time for receipt of proposals.

If a proposal is not received at the place, date and time specified, it will be considered a "late proposal."
