Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical Army food‑service contracts for a single MEPS location, daily meal costs (including food, labor, and overhead) might range from $500 to $1,200 per day. Over a 12‑month FY (≈260 workdays), the total contract value could be roughly $130,000 – $312,000. Adjustments for inflation, additional services (waste handling, special dietary meals), and administrative fees could push the upper bound toward $500,000. Therefore, a reasonable estimate is between $200,000 and $500,000.
