Budget estimate

$228,000 – $513,000

No ceiling is disclosed, but the solicitation estimates 285 investigations. Assuming a unit price range of $800‑$1,800 per investigation (typical for comprehensive background checks including travel and reporting), the total contract value could fall between roughly $228,000 and $513,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the bidder’s pricing strategy, travel costs, and any subcontractor participation.
