Budget estimate

$183,600 – $367,200

The total contract value is a not-to-exceed maximum value, and payments and invoicing should be per meal ordered. The estimated maximum number of meals for the program is 36,720. Assuming an average cost per meal of $5-10, the total contract value could be around $183,600 to $367,200. However, this is just an estimate, and the actual contract value could be higher or lower, depending on the bids received.
