Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $10,000,000

The contract will likely be a multi‑million‑dollar award, given the specialized nature of submarine tailcone fabrication, the need for defense‑grade materials, and the inclusion of both fixed‑price and cost‑plus components. A reasonable ballpark is between $2 million and $10 million, depending on quantity, engineering support, and lifecycle services.
