Budget estimate

$200,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate because the document does not provide any information about the budget or the scope of the project. However, based on the fact that it is a sources sought notice for high-altitude balloon systems, payloads, and software, it is likely that the budget will be in the range of a few hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars. The actual budget will depend on the specific requirements of the project and the number of contractors that respond to the notice. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the complexity of the system, the number of units required, and the level of customization needed.
