Budget estimate

$200,000 – $1,750,000

The solicitation notes that the requirement falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $350,000, which is the maximum ceiling for the base year. Assuming each optional year is similarly funded, the total potential value could reach roughly $1.75 million over five years. However, typical sole‑source scientific writing contracts of this nature often award between $200k and $350k per year, depending on the volume of deliverables. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the entire contract is $200,000 (minimum) to $1,750,000 (maximum) over the full five‑year term. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of manuscripts, grant proposals, and any additional consulting tasks requested during each option year.
