Budget estimate

$70,000 – $125,000

The solicitation does not publish a price, but comparable laboratory microwave systems range from $55,000 to $95,000 for the instrument alone, with accessories and a vessel set adding $10,000–$20,000, and installation/training services typically costing $5,000–$10,000. Considering travel, insurance, and contingency, a realistic total contract value would fall between $70,000 and $125,000.
