Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Given the nature of the RFB, which involves the procurement of library books and materials, it's challenging to provide an exact budget estimation. However, considering the contract term and the potential number of libraries involved, a reasonable estimate could be between $500,000 and $2,000,000 per year, depending on the discount rates offered and the volume of books purchased. This estimate is based on the assumption that the State of Iowa will be purchasing a significant quantity of books and materials for its libraries.
