Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as it is a Request for Information (RFI) and not a formal solicitation. However, based on the scope of the project, which involves the acquisition of services for an airplane that can carry large and oversized cargo, the budget could be substantial. The estimated budget could be in the range of $10 million to $50 million per year, depending on the number of hours the airplane is used and the cost of operating and maintaining the aircraft. The budget could also be influenced by the complexity of the cargo being transported and the level of service required.
