Contract value

$3,100,000

The pricing sheet lists $255,000 for 1.5 million orange‑juice units and $4,450 for 1,000 gallons of whole milk, plus $8,500 for lactaid milk. Prices for the bulk of the milk cartons (estimated 3.5 million 8‑oz cartons) are not disclosed, but assuming a modest $0.80 per carton (typical for school‑supply milk) yields roughly $2.8 million. Adding the known totals and a small estimate for cream‑cheese cups ($250) gives an approximate contract value of $3.1 million. This ballpark accounts for product costs, the required cooler equipment, and the two‑year term, but does not include potential administrative fees or bond costs, which are listed as “N/A”.
