Contract value

$50,000

The contract covers 38 microscopes. Assuming an average annual calibration cost of $500 per microscope and a maintenance component of $800 per microscope, the total per unit would be roughly $1,300. Multiplying by 38 yields about $49,400. Adding administrative overhead (≈ $600) brings the estimate to roughly $50,000. This ball‑park figure reflects typical industry pricing for forensic‑grade microscope calibration and routine upkeep.
