Contract value

$250,000

The solicitation provides no monetary figure. Typical county‑level recruitment contracts for correctional facilities range from $100,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the volume of hires and service scope. Given the “Carceral Recruitment” category and the fact that this is a sole‑source award (which often reflects a specialized vendor with higher rates), a mid‑range estimate of approximately $250,000 is reasonable. This accounts for recruitment fees, background checks, and administrative costs over an assumed one‑year period.
