Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

While the solicitation does not disclose the contract value, school district food service contracts of this scope typically range from half a million to a few million dollars annually, depending on the number of schools served, meal counts, and service level. Assuming a mid‑size district with 10‑15 schools, a reasonable estimate would be $500,000 – $2,000,000 per year for comprehensive FSMC services. Factors influencing the range include the scale of operations, menu complexity, staffing levels, and any supplemental nutrition programs.
