Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

Based on typical state textbook distribution contracts, the annual spend can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over half a million, depending on the number of schools served, distance traveled, and volume of materials. Assuming 150‑200 school districts with average haul distances of 50‑150 miles, a reasonable estimate is $200,000 to $500,000 for the contract term.
