Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $3,000,000

Based on the historic 2025 sales figure of approximately $715,600 and the additional 20 % subsidy capped at $6,000 per month (≈ $72,000 per year), the vendor could generate roughly $787,600 in annual revenue. Over the three‑year base term, this translates to about $2.3 million. Allowing for profit margins, contract overhead, and potential growth, a realistic total contract value is estimated between $2 million and $3 million.
