Budget estimate

$800,000 – $1,200,000

The solicitation does not disclose a maximum contract value, but based on comparable state cafeteria operations, an annual contract could range from $400,000 to $600,000 for labor, food, supplies, and overhead. Over the initial two‑year term this yields an estimated total award of $800,000‑$1,200,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the final menu pricing, local‑purchase percentages, and any optional services (catering, vending).
