Contract value

$250,000

The document does not state a contract value. A virtual bookstore management contract for a midsize university typically covers platform licensing, integration, ongoing support, and transaction processing. Assuming a 3‑year term, industry benchmarks suggest $80 k–$120 k per year for similar services, yielding a total contract value in the range of $240 k–$360 k. Given the lack of exact figures, a reasonable midpoint estimate is about $250,000. This estimate accounts for software licensing, staff support, and transaction fees, but excludes any one‑time implementation costs that might be separate.
