Contract value

$800,000

The solicitation caps the overall spend at a redacted amount (“$XXX,XXX.XX”), but typical state translation contracts of this scope range between $600k and $1M over three years. Assuming an average per‑word rate of $0.12 in Year 1 (decreasing modestly in Years 2‑3) and an average annual volume of 1‑1.5 million English words across all languages, word‑rate revenue would be roughly $120‑180 k per year. Adding the all‑inclusive per‑page DTP rates (estimated $30‑40 per page for 10‑15 k pages annually) contributes another $300‑600 k. Together, a realistic contract ceiling sits near $800 000, which aligns with the redacted placeholder and the small‑business preference ceiling often used by CDTFA.
