Contract value

$350,000

The source does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical school‑district access‑control projects of comparable size—covering hardware (readers, locks, controllers), software licensing, installation labor, and multi‑year maintenance—the total cost often ranges from $200,000 to $500,000. Assuming a mid‑size district with multiple facilities, a reasonable ballpark estimate would be around $350,000. This estimate accounts for equipment costs (~$200k), installation labor (~$100k), and three years of service/maintenance (~$50k).
