Contract value

$200,000

The solicitation does not disclose a dollar amount. Typical market prices for high‑spec synthetic recovery slings with integrated fiber‑optic inspection and external warning indicators range from $30,000 to $50,000 per unit, plus testing and certification costs. Assuming an average of $40,000 per sling for four slings equals $160,000. Adding around $40,000 for proof‑load testing, certification, warranty, and logistics brings the total to roughly $200,000. This ball‑park estimate stays comfortably below the $10 million threshold noted in the J&A, confirming the contract’s small‑business set‑aside status.
