Contract value

$1,500,000

No explicit dollar amount is provided. Typical school‑district bus‑parts contracts with a single OEM distributor covering an entire fleet can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over a million, depending on fleet size and parts volume. Orange County Public Schools operates a sizable fleet; assuming an average annual parts spend of $400 K–$600 K and a multi‑year agreement (e.g., three years), the contract’s value could be roughly $1.2 million to $1.8 million. For estimation, I will use the midpoint of that range: about $1.5 million.
