Contract value

$400,000

The award notice does not disclose a contract value. Typical school‑district textbook adoption contracts for a single subject (handwriting) range from a few hundred thousand to about one million dollars, depending on student enrollment and textbook price. Chesapeake Public Schools serves roughly 40,000 students; assuming 1‑2 textbooks per student at $25‑$35 each, the total could be $1‑$2 million. However, handwriting textbooks are often a single volume used across grades, reducing quantity. A reasonable ballpark estimate is $300,000–$500,000. I will use the midpoint of $400,000 as the estimated contract value.
