Contract value

$85,000

The bid sheet lists quantity ranges: roughly 40‑120 cases of bead throws and up to about 540 cases of Moon Pies across four flavors. Assuming an average case price of $50 for bead throws (≈$4,000‑$6,000 total) and $150 per case for Moon Pies (≈$81,000 total), the combined contract value is estimated around $85,000. This exceeds the $50,000 threshold noted in the document, suggesting the contract will likely be above $50k but well below $100k.
