Contract value

$170,000

No explicit dollar amount is disclosed. Typical service contracts for high‑throughput Ion sequencers range from $40,000 to $60,000 per instrument per year, covering preventive maintenance, parts, labor, and travel. With three instruments, a reasonable ballpark is roughly $150,000 – $180,000 for the 12‑month period. Considering NIH’s scale and the inclusion of unlimited repair coverage, the estimate leans toward the higher end, around $170,000.
