Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

Based on typical school‑district meal‑kit contracts, the total spend is likely in the low‑hundreds of thousands. Assuming 30 schools, 180 days of service, ~200 kits per day at $5 each, the contract could be roughly $5.4 million, but many districts procure smaller volumes. A conservative estimate would be $200,000 – $500,000 for a single‑year supply of standardized kits.
