NITAAC Presents:

"At The Corner of Savings & Confidence"

An IT Acquisition Forum and Exhibition

NITAAC will be presenting three sessions covering Flexible Ordering Processes, Market Research, Small Business Acquisitions and more as we help you get ready for year-end purchases.

Contracting Officers, Program Managers, IT Specialists, CIOs and others associated with IT acquisitions will find something of value at this Forum. And, you’ll have a chance to meet with and talk to many of NITAAC’s Prime Contract Holders.

On-site registration opens at 8:00 a.m. and the program begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there!

Security on the NIH Campus is tight, so please read the following instructions carefully:

All visitors must enter through the NIH Gateway Center. You will be asked to submit to a vehicle or personal inspection.

Visitors will be required to show one (1) form of identification (a government-issued photo ID-driver's license, passport, green card, etc.) and to state the purpose of their visit.

The NIH Gateway Center is located adjacent to the Medical Center Metro Station at the South Drive entrance to campus from Rockville Pike/Wisconsin Avenue (Route 355). It combines visitor parking, non-commercial vehicle inspection and visitor ID processing, all in one location. The NIH will process all visitors in vehicles or as pedestrians.

Vehicles

For visitors arriving in vehicles, on motorcycles or bicycles, the Gateway Vehicle Inspection Station (Building 66A), provides multiple inspection lanes and allows visitors to go through inspection and get a visitor badge in one centralized, efficient process. Vehicles enter the Gateway Center complex through a new roadway, "NIH Gateway Drive," just south of the intersection of the previous visitor entrance at South Drive and Rockville Pike. Vehicles that choose to bypass parking in MLP-11 will go through inspection and enter campus at Center Drive near the National Library of Medicine. (See Gateway Map: http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/maps/Pages/Gateway-Center-Map.aspx)

Please note: visitor parking is limited at NIH. Visitors are encouraged to use public transportation such as the Metrorail subway system which has a convenient stop (Medical Center) on the NIH campus. Visit the "Metro" site for information on fares and schedules http://www.wmata.com.

The Gateway complex also includes MLP-11, a 342-space, multi-level underground parking garage. This 'visitor-only' lot will be the primary visitor parking for the NIH main campus. We strongly encourage all visitors to park in this garage as there will be limited visitor parking on campus, other than for patients and visitors to the Clinical Center. Vehicles parking in MLP-11 are outside of the perimeter security and will not go through vehicle inspection, reducing the amount of time it takes to get on campus.
