Budget estimate

$200,000 – $400,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Based on market rates for a full‑time, 24‑hour armed guard (including salary, benefits, equipment, insurance, and overhead) at roughly $60‑$80 k per year, a three‑year contract would likely fall between $180 k and $240 k. Considering the university’s size, the need for a Level III commissioned officer, and additional compliance/insurance costs, a realistic ballpark is $200 k – $400 k for the entire three‑year term.
