Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value; however, specialized steel vessel fabrication for a research range typically involves high‑precision engineering, material costs, and labor. Based on comparable university research‑facility contracts, a reasonable estimate ranges from half a million dollars for a limited‑scope build to up to two million dollars for a full suite of vessels and integration work. Factors influencing the final amount include the volume of steel, complexity of welding and testing, and any required certifications.
