Contract value

$50,000

No explicit contract value is listed. The solicitation calls for 1‑2 complete DJI Matrice 350 RTK “Worry‑Free Basic” combos (approx. $15,000–$18,000 each), 1‑2 Zenmuse H30T payloads ($4,000–$6,000 each), and 2‑10 spare intelligent flight batteries ($350–$450 each). Assuming the maximum quantities (2 combos, 2 payloads, 10 batteries) yields: 2 × $17,500 ≈ $35,000 + 2 × $5,000 ≈ $10,000 + 10 × $400 ≈ $4,000 = ~$49,000. Rounding for overhead, taxes, and potential accessories suggests a contract value near $50,000. This estimate aligns with the document’s note that disadvantaged‑participation requirements apply for contracts over $50,000, indicating the anticipated spend is in that range.
