Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)

Contract value

$65,000

No monetary value is disclosed. A five‑day, 20‑student advanced parachute training program typically costs between $2,000–$3,000 per student for instruction, equipment use, facilities, and housing. Assuming $2,500 per student yields $50,000. Adding overhead for logistics and contractor profit could bring the total to roughly $60,000–$70,000. A conservative ball‑park estimate is therefore around $65,000.
