Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is likely to be in the range of $500,000 to $2 million. This estimate is based on the fact that the project involves the design, fabrication, and installation of new afocal relay optics, which is a complex and specialized task. The budget will depend on the complexity of the design, the materials and labor required, and the level of expertise of the performer. The fact that the document mentions a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) for the base phase and a rough order of magnitude estimate for the option phase suggests that the budget will be significant. However, without more information about the specific requirements and scope of the project, it is difficult to provide a more precise estimate.
