Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is estimated to be between $500,000 and $2 million per year, based on the requirement for two full-time employees and the scope of work, which includes designing and developing 3-4 academic wargames and 3-4 analytical wargames per calendar year. The contractor will be required to provide graphic design services, educational support services, and other related services, which will likely require a significant amount of labor and resources. The estimated budget range takes into account the following factors: • The requirement for two full-time employees, which will likely require a significant amount of labor costs. • The scope of work, which includes designing and developing 3-4 academic wargames and 3-4 analytical wargames per calendar year, which will likely require a significant amount of resources and labor. • The fact that the contractor will be required to work on a full-time basis, with some flexibility for telework, but with the understanding that some work may involve classified information and must be performed in a secure government facility, which may require additional resources and labor. The estimated budget range is based on the assumption that the contractor will be required to provide a significant amount of labor and resources to meet the requirements of the contract, and that the contractor will be paid a competitive rate for their services.
