Budget estimate

$100,000 – $250,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific amount or range. However, considering the specialized nature of the work and the requirements for the contractor, it is likely that the budget will be substantial. The contractor will be providing part-time support, and the frequency and duration of support will vary with mission test requirements and USAF manning. Assuming an average annual salary for a contract test pilot instructor, the budget could be in the range of $100,000 to $250,000 per year, depending on the level of experience and the number of hours worked.
