Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $30,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate as it is a sources sought notice and not a solicitation. However, based on the requirements, it is likely that the contract will be valued in the millions of dollars. The contractor will need to provide extensive training and simulation services, which will require significant resources and investment. The Air Force's budget for similar contracts in the past has ranged from $5 million to $50 million per year, depending on the scope and complexity of the training. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for this contract could be between $10 million and $30 million per year, depending on the specific requirements and the contractor's proposed solution.
