Contract value

$3,000,000

No total contract ceiling is disclosed. Using the per‑transaction fees ($43 domestic, $63 international) and assuming a large public‑school district like Richland County (≈ 10,000 staff and students) makes an average of 30,000 travel transactions per year (a conservative estimate). At an average fee of $45 per transaction, annual spend would be roughly $1.35 million. Over the two‑year base period that yields about $2.7 million, and including potential renewals up to five years could approach $4 million. Therefore a reasonable ballpark is between $2 million and $5 million; a midpoint estimate of $3 million is provided.
