Contract value

$250,000

The public record does not disclose the contract value. Typical a‑la‑carte snack contracts for a county school system of roughly 10,000‑12,000 students range from $150,000 to $300,000 annually, depending on menu variety, frequency of delivery, and service level (e.g., vending machine stocking versus full cafeteria service). Assuming a mid‑size district and a moderate snack menu, a reasonable ball‑park estimate would be about $250,000 for the first year, with potential renewal options thereafter. This estimate factors in standard per‑student snack spend (~$20‑$25 per student per year) and the vendor’s overhead for logistics and inventory management.
