RFP #026-003

Contract value

$750,000

The RFP does not disclose a total contract dollar amount. Estimating based on typical school food‑service budgets, each of the 14 schools may require roughly $30,000–$40,000 of frozen/grocery/snack products for a full academic year. Multiplying the midpoint ($35,000) by 14 schools yields about $490,000. Adding delivery, insurance, and contingency costs could push the total toward $750,000. Therefore a reasonable ballpark estimate for the contract value is approximately three‑quarters of a million dollars.
