Contract value

$45,000

The award information explicitly lists an award amount of $45,000.00, which represents the total contract value. No other financial figures are present, so the best estimate of the contract’s dollar value is the award amount itself. Factors such as the limited scope (a single vendor providing entertainment for a defined set of events) and the short contract duration further support this $45K valuation.
