Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $5,000,000

While the solicitation does not disclose a contract value, a multi‑year virtual bookstore for a system as large as CUNY (over 25 campuses and hundreds of thousands of students) typically generates significant revenue from textbook sales, digital content licensing, and merchandise. Assuming a modest commission structure and annual sales volume in the $5‑$10 million range, the university’s net spend on the service could be roughly $2 million to $5 million per year, resulting in an estimated total contract value of $10 million to $25 million over the five‑year base term. Factors influencing the final amount include the chosen pricing model (commission vs. fixed fee), volume of digital content, and any renewal terms.
