They say it's "up to 75,000" per program, looking at the actual assessor websites, most require quotes, but tier 2 assessments start at $500 and tier 3 start at $5-6000, and you're in the land of asking for quotes from companies, so "hey we compile the same code into 32 and 64 bit versions" probably does not actually require a 2x cost increase.
