Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $30,000,000

No explicit contract value is provided. Assuming each SVSI unit costs between $5,000‑$10,000 (based on comparable survival equipment) and production volumes of 260‑1,543 units per year over a five‑year IDIQ, the total contract value could range roughly from $6.5 million (260 units × $5,000 × 5 years) up to $77 million (1,543 units × $10,000 × 5 years). Thus a reasonable estimate is $5 million‑$30 million, acknowledging that actual pricing, economies of scale, and contract structuring could shift the range.
