Budget estimate

$150,000 – $250,000

Based on market data for similar KUV/transit vehicles, unit costs typically range from $150,000 for a basic configuration to $250,000 for a fully equipped model with advanced safety and telematics options. Since the solicitation is for a single unit and includes warranty and insurance requirements, the expected contract value is likely within this band. Factors that could shift the amount include optional accessories, delivery distance, and any required custom modifications to meet the Basis of Design.
