Budget estimate

$800,000 – $2,000,000

The budget for this opportunity can be estimated based on the average cost of catering services for events. Assuming an average cost of $50 per participant for NEO sessions and $100 per participant for special events, the total cost for catering services over four years can be estimated. With fifty participants per NEO session, three sessions per month, and twenty participants per special event, with fifteen events per year, the total number of participants per year can be calculated. Based on these estimates, the total budget for this opportunity could range from $200,000 to $500,000 per year, depending on the actual costs and number of events. Over four years, the total budget could range from $800,000 to $2,000,000. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the actual cost of catering services, the number of events and participants, and any additional services or requirements specified by WMATA.
