Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical embassy guard contracts in comparable African capitals, an annual contract for a full‑time 24/7 guard force (including personnel, vehicles, communications equipment, training, and administrative overhead) would likely fall in the $500,000 to $1,500,000 range. The lower bound reflects a minimal staffing level; the upper bound accounts for additional equipment, insurance, and premium pay requirements.
