Budget estimate

$20,000 – $40,000

The solicitation’s internal valuation totals $29,304 for the entire lot. Since the university will accept the highest bid, the actual contract value will likely fall near that figure, possibly ranging from $20 K (a low‑ball bid) up to $40 K (if bidders value the artifacts highly). Factors influencing the final amount include rarity of specific items, collector interest, and the buyer’s willingness to cover removal costs.
