The cost for the transition shall not be included in the technical proposal. The cost for the transition shall be included in the business proposal as a separate tab. The transition budget shall be a separate budget from the offeror’s total cost proposal.

Offerors are required to provide a detailed plan including hours, days and dollars for moving the repository from its present location at Fisher BioServices, 20301 Century Boulevard, Building 6, Suite 800, Germantown, MD to your proposed location. Provide a detailed plan which requires approval prior to award. The plan shall include, but should not be limited to providing guidelines for prevention of loss or damage of part or all of the NCI compound collection during shipment, freezer and refrigerator preparation(s), insurance, and handling of damaged containers of hazardous chemicals.
