STATEMENT OF WORK: The Center's post market transformation efforts have resulted in the decision to move to a post market matrix organization, intended to facilitate greater information sharing and richer collaboration across the Center which will overlay *horizontal*, product-focused Networks on existing *vertical* functional Offices. The matrix calls for establishing product-based Networks that will include all of the products the Center regulates, plus several over-arching groups covering cross-cutting science and regulatory issues. Each Network will have a Network Leader and will be managed from the Center Director's office by an Associate Center Director. This retreat will focus on OCER managers and how the Office will fit into the networks of the new matrix organization. This will also facilitate discussion to determine the knowledge, skills and abilities required of the networks, the number of network liaisons OCER will have, as well as to determine which functions should be a part of the new matrix. TASKS: Consultant with collaborate with Director, OCER, to develop a two-day retreat for OCER managers. Consultant will submit a draft design to the Director, OCER, for input and approval.

Offerors are advised that award will be made to that offeror whose quotation provides the combination of features that offers the best or greatest overall value to the Government.
