Contract value

$20,000,000

The notice does not disclose the contract’s dollar value. Typical FSMC contracts for a county school district are based on a per‑meal price multiplied by the annual meal volume. Assuming the district serves roughly 5,000 students, each receiving lunch on about 180 school days, the annual meal count would be ~900,000. At an estimated $5 per meal (common for public‑school contracts), the yearly spend would be about $4.5 million. FSMC agreements often span 4‑5 years, suggesting a total contract value in the range of $18‑$22 million. Using a mid‑point estimate yields roughly $20 million. This ball‑park figure reflects typical market rates and district size, though actual numbers could vary.
