Contract value

$7,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. A typical police communication vest kit (13 items) retails between $450‑$800. Assuming an average of $600 per unit and a mid‑range quantity of 10 units (the solicitation mentions “Approx. 1‑20 units”), the base material cost would be about $6,000. Adding the mandatory 5 % bid bond (approximately $300) and modest administrative fees, the total contract value likely falls in the $6,000‑$7,000 range. Therefore a reasonable ball‑park estimate is roughly $7,000.
